The Weekly TickList #141

Fontainebleau

In the year that bleau.info turned 20, we reached the number of 35.000 problems listed on bleau.info! Our ambitious (impossible?) goal is to illustrate every problem with at least a picture of the 'naked' boulder. If you have a picture of a problem that is not yet illustrated and you want to share it, please send it to info@bleau.info.

Humidity and viruses are not climbers' best friends. And we've had enough of that lately. During a few days with (very) good conditions, a few special performances were achieved. Ludo Lefèvre repeated Le Pied à Coulisse 8c+ in Rocher Gréau. Maël Bonzom and Guillaume Levernier repeated Mécanique Élémentaire 8b+ in Recloses Sud. Tim Reuser repeated Khéops (assis) 8b+ in Cuvier Rempart. Don van Laere repeated Dune 8b in Rocher de la Salamandre. Maël Bonzom repeated Le Paradoxe de Zénon 8b in Coquibus Arcades.

The young Tristan Chouvy (11 years old!) repeated the low start of Lacrima 8b in Rocher Saint-Germain Est and Enigma 8b in Franchard Isatis. Tristan is the new slab prodigy; both problems are seldomly repeated. Enigma is a classic; it's the first 8b of the forest, first climbed by slab master Philippe Le Denmat in 1992. Lacrima was first climbed by Philipes son, Loïc, when he was 14.

We added a new feature to bleau.info. Besides the good old 'To do' list you can now create more specific lists and name these as you wish: quick drying, Christmas, close to the gîte, or just add all problems from the ultra classic bouldering video The Real Thing!

Using bleau.info is free, maintaining the database isn't. Please support us and buy a bleau.info T-shirt! All ‘profits’ will be used to pay for the increasing costs of bleau.info. The shirts are made of dark grey, soft pure organic cotton. Go to this page, select a size and send an email to bart@bleau.info. As we do not have a webshop, you will be asked to transfer €30 (plus shipping costs, which amounts to €8 for most European countries) to our Dutch bank account. You can also buy your T-shirt at the gîte Bloasis in Oncy-sur-École (please contact Fabien Brones first).

Roche aux Sabots

This picture was taken from the Instagram feed of Eric Steiner (@climb_beer_repeat)

"Day 2 climbing in Fontainebleau was also cold, damp, cloudy, and absolutely amazing! This time we were bouldering at Roche aux Sabots, which is an absolute wonderland of boulders nestled within a pristine Forrest. While the day was quite misty, the boulders were impressively dry."
