October 18, 2015 - Humid conditions, but crowded

Fontainebleau - Cuvier Rempart - Big Mama 7A

Certainly not the hardest 7A of the forest and definitely not the hardest 7A of Cuvier Rempart, but it does need some commitment, especially when the top is wet! 
You don't want to slip and make a bad fall when you're up there.
It was good to know that my friend Pieter was spotting me there!!



Fontainebleau - Cuvier Est - Les Cupules 7A

It's all about compression and foot placement here.
Fontainebleau in the way most people like it !!

I didn't think this would have been possible with the humid conditions we had today. Glad we tried anyway!!
But it seems that ethics were not around again.



Fontainebleau - Cuvier Est - Rencontre Plafonnique 7B

When Cuvier is full and you feel like climbing in peace and quietness, you can always go try this.
It's an isolated boulder on top of the hill at Cuvier Est. In fact, it's so isolated that probably the hardest thing about this boulder is finding it for the first time!

Last time I went there, I couldn't even do the first move as it was too morpho. Slapping the right hand first and then going left was the trick.
Fell twice off the last move, even though I did that move before. Seemed like remembering to use correct foot placement was the thing that got me up there.

The boulder visually doesn't look that nice, but the moves are. 

Better when someone is there to give you a spot, kind of sketchy landing there.
