May 21, 2017 - One boulder, four problems.

It was quite warm today, but a bunch of us had found some shade under the roof of "Anak" in Cuvier Bellevue.
With a bunch I mean that it started off with Bram (Honorez), Pieter and me, followed by Thierry (Hardy) and later also joined by Jan (de Smit), Nataleigh and their friend Bastiaan. Tim (Collier) joined too but was later.

There are many lines in the big roof, one harder than the other, but all very nice ones.
We spent the whole afternoon on it.
I already forgot who climbed what and who, so here's a quick sum up.

We started off with "Ulysse", a very nice logical line where the crux is to match both hands on the big sloper to come out of the roof.
As soon as I worked out the crux, the send followed soon after.

Fontainebleau - Cuvier Bellevue - Ulysse 7A(7A+)




"Tiliak" is basically the same as "Anak", but this time with the arete and over the prow, making it substantially easier. But still not a give away though for most.

Fontainebleau - Cuvier Bellevue - Tiliak 6C+(7A)




On the left side of the roof we had some doubts about the start of "Anak" but after reading the description back home, it seemed that we did it correctly.
Small crimps and some hard pulling.

EDIT: it turns out that "Anak" starts almost lying down with a much lower crimp. Seems we were all mixed up there without any description at hand. I therefore removed the video.

Last but certainly not least, most of us ended up doing "Goriak".
For Pieter and I it didn't give much problems. Being tall in this problem definitely is not an advantage.
Beautiful line this one!

We still played around in the 7C "Liakyssan" but our fingers felt wrecked.
The lines in the roof are very nice, but very hard on the fingers.

    1. Oui, en effet. La description est plus clair sur Bleauboulders.
      J'ai donc supprimé la vidéo pour éviter toute confusion.

      Bonne grimpe!
