Appréhension 7C+, Bouldering in Fontainebleau

Appréhension 7C+, Bouldering in Fontainebleau

| August 29, 2012 | Reply

One of my most memorable sends from the last trip to Font was the one of À Préhension in Coquibus longs vaux. Even though I was totally wrecked after having climbed from early morning to late afternoon that day, I still decided to go and check this problem out, partly thanks to some persuasion from Neil.

Ryan Silven explores the storied forest of Fontainebleau, France in search of the history, experience, and, most of all, the blocs found underneath the canopy. Such classics as “La Baleine”, “Noir Desir”, and “La Jocker” should be on everyone’s lifetime lists. Watch and enjoy. The forest beckons. 2011

A warm summer break in Fontainebleau was mainly used as a rest from training-eating patisserie, drinking wine and pottering around the circuits in the forest. However I did go and look at this whilst we were there, I thought it maybe climbable in the 30 degree heat. I was right! Great problem and in a […]

Here are some videos that I edited while still in France. I actually edited 4, but one I’m redoing slightly as it’s a bit boring. The first one below on La Presse Puree has an edit mistake, but I can’t really fix without doing a major redo. Can you spot it? Also, sorry for the […]

I’ve edited some footage showing me climbing a cool roof problem. There’s an extension that goes at 8a called La Traversée de Symbiose. I shot Thierry Plaud, a beausard, on the extension and included some images of that too. He didn’t send it, but it’s just a matter of time as he falls reaching the […]

Hello again. Though we hardly blogged about Europe, we have stacks of video and stills to go through, so I will be posting on that shortly. In the mean time, I’ve picked up a copy of the new bouldering guide and reviewed the problems Robert has been able to include from our efforts in Josh. […]
