November 5, 2015 - Bas Cuvier on the way home from work

Fontainebleau - Bas Cuvier - Pif Paf 7A

When driving from work to home, Bas Cuvier is not even a 5 minute detour, and when it's a more or less clear sky, then you know you will have about 15 minutes longer daylight.
That was enough reason to do a quick repeat for the video.

A nice little dyno, Pif Paf, and you can hear where it got it's name. All about sticking the slopers just long enough until you finished the swing.
Just a small remark. Sadly enough the slopers where you jump were just covered with a thick layer of magnesium. I use magnesium too, but please clean the holds after climbing. Keeping the precious boulders clean will help to preserve them for the next generations.



Fontainebleau - Bas Cuvier - Black Earth 7A+

This has one hold. The starting hold right hand.
What remains is some slapping on the best spots and hope you will get just about enough friction to pull up a little and slap for the next sloper.
Body positioning is the key here, and also having the luck that I suddenly felt something for the right foot when getting higher.
The description on bleau.info says that it's morpho, but I think that's not too bad as long as you can find the good position to find your balance.
Many people don't even notice this boulder as it is being overshadowed by the impressive "L'Aérodynamite" just across of it.
A shame, because it is a typical Font style sloper problem!
