Paul Robinson does FA of Gourmandise Direct and Andy Gullsten sends Ubik Assis (8B) and L'Apparemment en depart bas (8B)

Published 5 months ago by Alexandra Kahn.

The Welcome to the Hood crew is at it again in Fontainebleau. Paul Robinson returned to the Gourmandise roof to put up the direct finish, naming it The Traphouse and giving it the grade of soft 8B+. Of the direct finish, Paul says, "it makes the ending of Gourmandise harder. It's more powerful and demanding from the bottom. And it's a more direct line, which got me really excited."
