This year we already reported about six ascents of an 8c. And we continue: Maxime Baroud is on fire; he repeated his second 8c this year with Bélial in Cuvier and he also succeeded in repeating the mythic L'Alchimiste 8b+ in Apremont (est). Rob Denayer repeated his first 8c in Fontainebleau with the very long Quoi de Neuf in Orsay. In the same roof, Nicolas Januel repeated La Force 8c. The season is not over yet!
The Apremont (ouest) area has undergone a complete makeover; the red circuit has been renumbered and that is why we updated many problem descriptions, added many photos and made numerous corrections.
"Nice line for shorties. Traverse all the way to the other side of the boulder. When you are short it is easier to fit between the boulder behind you and squeeze trough without touching the rock - Humerus (7A)"
