Great warm up

Nice moves through small overhang and mantle at the end

Small traverse with lots of possible heelhooks

Short traverse

Quite tricky (until you find the big hold at the top). Sector 6, bloc 10-4

Sector 6, bloc 8-2

Nice kneebar and easy mantle top-out. Sector 3, Masso 9-29

Nice moves; sitstart, heelhook, dynamic to the top. Sector 5, Masso 5A-16

Nice mantle! Sector 3, Masso 11

Nice location, star for the view! Sector 3, Masso 16

Nice. Good mantle at the end. Skipped it last year because a possible fall seemed to be nasty, this year with a spotter (and flash) no problems.

Wasn't accurately depicted in guidebook, but do think I climbed the right line.

Nice sitstart, quite easy afterwards.

2nd go. Great heel/toe hook and stretchy moves.

Powerful start, some strength and good foot placement required. Definitely a bit morpho though.

Nice dynamic move.

Red 21. 2nd go. Nice toehook!

Suddenly feels so easy with the right foot placement...

2nd go. Thanks to the beta, should have flashed it. Nice dynamic move through the roof.

Nice moves on good holds with a kneebar, underclings and heelhooks; great boulder!

Still climbing 7A after weeks without any sports? No power or endurance left, needed 5 tries just for the (very easy) top-out. Great boulder!

Great traverse on a slopy edge; constantly switching between heel and toe hooks. Bit like a "mini U-boot", just next to the Bosna-block.

Last send of this trip. Didn't think I still had energy left for this. Nice traverse with lots of heel hooks and different holds.

Warm up.

So much trouble with that first move last year, so easy now...

Impressive boulder! Some good moves and nice heel hooks.

Warm up.

Nice slab. Went with dynamic move to the top this time.

2nd go. Left foot high to reach for the good sloper over the overhang. Top-out was the only hard part.

2nd go. Nice move to small sloper. Solid heel hook afterwards.

Red 36. First go of this trip. Nice problem, but I personally don't like to eliminate holds (the one on the left in this case).

Red 5.

Just right of red 1. Great foot to hand move to get on slopy top-out.

Sitstart of red 5. Good holds and slopers on top out.

Tried it a year ago while a friend was in the Canonball dyno. Made quick work of it now.

White 10. First go of this trip, felt very easy now. Great looking problem with a nice far move from a (very) good hold to the top.

White 1. At the very start of Isatis. Climbed just as it started to rain a bit.

Red 2. Hard first move to get on the slab, followed by easier slab climbing.

Red 4. Finally done! Longest standing project to date. Amazing boulder with amazing moves!

Red 1. Nice first moves with slopers and a solid heel hook.

Red 34. Bit technical wall with some nice small slopers.

Red 15.

Kneebar after start finally made it possible. Nice moves through the overhang.

Red 23. Nice moves and mantle at the end, but felt too easy.

Red 27. Nice moves without holds to the right, otherwise still nice but too easy for the grade.

Red 12. Nice moves. Key was cross-over right to last edge and know where to grab the top.

Unnamed problem at the backside of the P'tit Toit boulder. Nice dynamic moves, hard start.

Red 2. Traverse into Rêve d'Eiger (blue 3). Nice top-out.

Red 11. Nice moves with slopers on top.

Black 12. 2nd go (foot too high on first go). Nice move to get on your right foot.

Nice moves through the overhang with a good heel-hook. Two tries for the stand start and one more for the sit start. Nice ending of a good climbing day and a nice vacation altogether.

Red 1. Figured out the moves last year, executed this year. Nice move to get on your right foot.

Red 18b. Nice moves. Sequence thought out by friends help made the flash possible.

Red 32.

Nice. Slab into good top-out.

Black 21. First go of this trip. Felt really good to suddenly be able to get on the left foot so easily.

Black 22. First try of this trip. Would have liked it more if I didn't injure my finger on it quite badly.

Slopers!

Black 1.

Red 34. Left foot to left hand while pressing out.

2nd go. Red 3. Start with good underclings and get high enough to use the vertical crack.

White 36. Slopers! Slopers on top felt very easy this time. Could have done it first try of this trip if I didn´t need a spotter for assurance.

2nd go. Easy for a Fontainebleau slab.

Red 16. Some time was needed to figure out the moves (small sloper as intermediate), then did it 4 times because it was just so good!

Red 17, named ´Le Twist´ in my guidebook (Fontainebleau Off-Piste). Nice technical moves with thumb-hold and a sloper.

Red 31. Slopers! Sequence from the other Dutchies worked perfectly.

2nd go. Blue 14b.

Red 12.

Bit strange sit start thing.

Red 1. Short arete. Did it just before it started to rain.

Red 5. Nice dynamic move with left foot high to a good hold.

Bloc 1, line G from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'. Also used for the awesome 'interactive night-time boulder game'. Nice moves with good holds and heel-hooks.

Bloc 3, line H from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'.

2nd go. Bloc 8, line B at sector Remenno from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'.

2nd go. Bloc 9, line F from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'. Nice first move, nice bloc.

Bloc 1, line C at sector Remenno from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'. Nice.

Bloc 10, line E at sector Cascina Piana from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'.

2nd go. Listed as a nameless boulder on the 'Sasso del Mario' bloc in the Melloblocco 2011 guidebook.

Bloc above the Fahrenheit 451 bloc. Listed as 6b without a name in the Melloblocco 2011 guidebook.

Bloc 3, line E from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'.

2nd go. Bloc 2, line A at sector Sass de la Pulenta from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'. Heel-hook plus mantle, did it on normal shoes.

Bloc 3, line F from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'.

Bloc 2, line D from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'.

Bloc 3, line E from guidebook 'Mello Boulder'. Very good first try, followed by a lot of nothing and then suddenly a very easy send. Key was a good heel-hook right and then just letting the feet go to put left high.

Slightly overhanging, sitstart, mantle out.

2nd go. Red 8. Good holds through easy overhang.

Just a bit of bouldering on a sport climbing trip.

It was used a bit as toilet...but the really nice moves made up for that. Cool problem. Didn't have a crashpad but did have Meta-support.

Unsure about the grade.

Nice line with some nice moves, but too bad it doesn't have a nice top-out.

Big red ant nest close by.

2nd go. Climbed with brush between teeth for on-climb cleaning. Holds a bit damp and sandy. Probably easier otherwise.

2nd go. All alone in the woods. Nice move and mantle top out. Unsure about start and if (double)dyno is necessary.

2nd go. Grade depends a bit on start. Nice dynamic move afterwards.

Different method than first time, but still nice.

Great moves at awesome location! Struggled a bit with top out. I think the new guidebook said 6C instead of 6B+ and I agree with that.

Nice, but I really don't think it's 6C as the guidebook suggested. Compared to other boulders I did in the area I'd say 6a+.

Nice line with some nice moves on good holds, especially the last move to the top.

Nice. Beachbloc is probably the best bloc I know; so many nice lines and such an awesome location.

2nd go.

Good slopers.

Awesome block move with left on huge pinch.

Awesome block move with left on huge pinch. The sit start doesn't really add anything besides difficulty.

Nice roof climbing, hard last move.

Red 45.

Good foot placement is the key.

Red 18.

Red 19.

Black 3. Nice wall.

Black 35. Easy once figured out.

Black 2.

Black 1. Great first two moves followed by an easy top-out on the Elephant boulder.

Red 1. Foot high and go for the good bidoigt.

Red 2. Took some time to work out a good sequence; nice puzzling.

White 12.

Red 16.

Red 20.

Red 31.

Red 12. Nice moves. Felt hard for a 5.

Red 22. Just awesome.

Red 4. Slopers! Nice moves. Struggled a bit with the high foot right.

Easy but nice.

Nice looking block and a nice line. Did it on last try of the day, the trick was using better shoes.

2nd go. Nice, obvious line.

Sector A, bloc 3b.

2nd go. Sector A, bloc 2a. Listed as 6b/c in guidebook, but using a long move to top I'd say it's easier.

Cool block.

2nd go. Crux at top, nice fall first try.

Sector B, bloc 2c.

Morpho. If you're tall enough I don't think it's 6C as the guidebook suggests.

Nice. Better than variant without the arete.

2nd go. Nice, required a bit of balance. Repeated on 2010-07-14 with a different method, still nice.

Tricky sit start, rest kinda easy once figured out.

Without arete. I liked the version with arete more.

235a.

Red 6. Easy once figured out, but very nice nonetheless.

Red 9. Failed the year before, now on 1st go.

Thanks to the Swedes for cheering me on. Found out later I used a way too hard method for topping out, probably easier otherwise.

First ascent? Sector 11 from the online guidebook; large round bloc facing the sea. Start from low undercling, go to sloper on top, jump to edge left, match and mantle out. Amazing moves at a great location. Pretty happy the seagull shit landed on my crashpad and not on me.

2nd go.

Awesome slab. First boulder climbed in Kerlouan.

Blue 3. Foot high while going up along the arete to slopers on top-out. Repeated on 2011-07-27.

2nd go. Sky Blue 6. Nice! Slab into slight overhang. Repeated on 2010-05-14 and 2011-07-24.

Blue 1. Nice slab.

2nd go. Red 15.

2nd go. Red 24.

2nd go. Red 17.

2nd go. Red 30. Nice moves through slight overhang to slopers on top with good top-out.

Red 14.

2nd go. Red 29. Nice. Start on slab, go a bit left and end in arete.

Red 46. Short and easy traverse through a big crack, dynamic move to the top.

Red 43.

Awesome!

Red 25. Slopers! Nice moves.

Red 12.

2nd go. Black 23. I don't think it's 6b as suggested in the guidebook.

2nd go. Black 20. Nice moves but a bit morpho. Repeated on 2010-05-14.

Red 11. Dynamic move with heel-hook to get to a good hold left.

White 31. Nice dynamic move to a sloper.

Red 22. Nice problem, great last move. Thanks to the Frenchmen for showing how it's done.

Red 3. Nice sit start. Feels almost as two boulders with the belly halfway.

Red 22. Took more time than expected to link the (quite easy) sit start with the stand start. The last move is awesome.

Sky Blue 36. Nice; technical foot placement and sloper-rail.

Red 5. Next to 'Dure Limite'.

2nd go. Should have brushed the top first; nasty fall on first try, last boulder I could do on this nice (but pretty cold) trip.

Blue 24. Nice!

Blue 8.

Blue 5.

Blue 4.

Red 34. Nasty left hand hold that suddenly feels good when you grab it right.
