The Weekly TickList #142

Fontainebleau

2021, an abnormal year, again. For some people it was unpleasant from time to time, for others disastrous. It was about the same for climbing, even though there were beautiful days and great, be it short, periods with perfect conditions in between. The problems will not be solved by 2022, but we are crawling out of the dark. We hope that this applies to each and everyone of you and that beautiful points of light shine on the horizon. If we continue to make well-considered, well-thought-out choices, it should be possible to enjoy all that life has to offer, in the forest, but also beyond.

On the few beautiful days of the past few weeks, the following climbers managed to put in good performances: Rob Denayer repeated The Big Island 8c in Coquibus Rumont, La Ligne de Bête 8b+ in Boissy aux Cailles and Gecko (assis) 8b+ in Rocher de Bouligny. All in the same week! Maël Bonzom and Michiel Nieuwenhuijsen repeated Khéops (assis) 8b+ and Tim Reuser repeated Bélial 8b+.

Besides all the regular things we do to maintain the Bleau.info database we updated the yellow circuit of Rocher de Corne-Biche, the orange and blue of Bois Rond, the yellow and orange of Les Cent Marches and we added the new orange circuit of Franchard Sablons.

If you want to support our work, you can buy a Bleau.info T-shirt. These are also for sale at the gîte Bloasis in Oncy-sur-École.

Big Golden

"Big Golden 7c+ Cuvier Rempart That light! My last post was about the golden hour (or minutes). And about being in the right place at the right time. I was lucky again!

If you ever wondered why this problem is named Big Golden, now you know!

There is often (always?) a Big Golden dot on the horizon. If things don’t work out this time, this year, you can still focus on that golden dot. 2022 might be the year it all happens. The forest is filled with golden dots, golden sparkles, golden highlights.

There are many paths to choose. I wish you all the pleasure of being in the right place, at the right time! Because very often, it’s just about that."
