For me it felt hard with a very hard ending for tallish.. and almost fell on send from the very end.. one more of these long term thingies done ✅

One of the best of the grade in this style. meaning wide fridge compression in a 45 degree angle 😎

Best on this rock?

found a way skipping basically half the holds and another a bit more suitable and cool for tall.. none using kneebars. Not really special, very small, forced low start, first move basically hardest, after 2 moves it's more or less a 6A..

Started quite much lower than it probably start.. hard to grade

Extremely nice for the grade

Very awesome climbing

Pretty powerful for my length.. cool sloper finish for me with a match on the "bad sloper"

Extremely nice climbing on cool holds.

Tricky

way more technical than expected. good climb.

Nice compression climb, but a bit spooky landing.

2nd go. Very good climb

I love compression fridges so what's not to like. it's low, but then again it has surprisingly many moves and all basically powerful. Very happy with this one.

Classic done ✅ According to video beta, did the "8A" version, but felt like the easiest way for me. All versions are more or less same, suits different people different i guess..

Way better than the "direct" one. Felt like one can move freely and very off balance sloper crux at end.

Extremely eliminated line.. did as in videos, using the crap sloper going left to sloper, then up, and topping out a bit left avoiding touching any of jugs just underneath me.. stupid variations. for sure 7A/+ if actually going with the crappy holds in a certain way and climbs well. but not the easiest way up the rock.

Pretty sharp.. a couple of goes and that was kind of all my skin could have taken anyhow.. pretty nice moves though

Could be nice with a bit more traffic .. the upper smears looked a bit dirty but held well..

Pretty cool Dyno. Maybe done before. Obvious wide start and hop to jug. No clue about grade.. 6B+ - 7A?

2nd go, pretty nice one.. climbing all the way to the top..

Started one move under the "good hold one the arete", made the first move pretty hard and the rest is just slopey cool climbing

Started extremely low because some french people said that's the way.. first move was weird and hard this way, after that it was a nice climb.

Very fun dynamic problem..

Pretty Morpho start but cool ending

Really cool moves

Very nice climbing, first go basically but have done topout and so before so no real flash

2nd go.. would not grade it under 7A even with right arete.. the corner is quite techy if you stay at arete only..

Cool slopers! Me gusta mucho

Crimpier than it looked but super balancy and techy. nice!! 💎

Went maybe without the best beta and felt pretty slopey for grade..

Cool moves and good rock quality for everything except first feet (Down climb without the old wooden steps is not completely straight forward..)

2nd go, first try skipped a hold which backfired.. Pretty nice climb

Not sure if something broke? Felt pretty stiff for 6C..

With the undercling I could not figure out how i can fit in, i really suspect this being not suitable for tall.. BUT that said, today i tried going directly to the next holds, and that worked out.. hard lock off for sure but doable apparently. So ✅ without undercling 😬😂

Powerful moves, but sandy holds. if they stop sand it will be a really good climb

Crimpy, hard for grade, cool moves! ended up using almost all holds..

Did this is a hanging sit start without feet.. felt pretty stiff..

Sit start slab.. can go left or right, good warm up. Fun moves if one eliminates holds here and there...

Big moves in-between lines

Very good. hardish first move for tall

Crimpy..

trixy...

Really good moves! Especially in the middle, and the more spooky exit adds some spice if you got pumped...

Really nice technical, a bit mental.. cool!!

One of my all time favorite slabs. Shitty slippery feet.. best thing ever!

Took a few walks to find the steps and the "hand holds". With a hop in the end... just because it more fun!

One move wonder, but pretty technical and cool

Jamming is always nice, but pretty easy jamming on this one

A bit sandy

Very nice layback crack

Pretty awesome! Static to the top..

Low as hell but good rock and pretty nice moves.

Basically first go... quite crimpy..

Getting feet out of roof took some effort...

In-betweener..

so mellow...

Rock quality superb.. Therefore super nice!

Cool slab

Balancy start to even get on the wall..

Balancy start! Don't cheat if you're tall. Do the dyno!! :)

Really nice rock quality

Very nice crux sequence

Very nice mantle testing

Also good, out a powerful roof, short slippery traverse to right and mantle out the easier exit

Really nice powerful mantle

Strong moves through roof and pretty off balance mantle

Pretty pumpy long traverse. Cool moves on nice slopers.

1st go. You know you cheated when you end up here...

Direct line but very cool mantle thingy

Did a elimination version without good holds right...

Pretty good

Climbed it following the lip, very cool moves..

Pretty nice sloper traverse.. even for tall very doable and not dab sensitive (without pads obviously!)

Foot slipped on flash.. sit start moves a bit powerful, slab very very easy.

Really good technical arete climb. 1st go. Did the slab first.

Even being low in middle isn't that bad for 189.. found a cool way of climbing it. Pretty pumpy

Dab sensitive but very nice moves

powerful boulder, not perfect for sunny hot days

Quite a pumpy and technical roof..

Really cool dynamic move from sloping thing to sloper edge.. Took way more time than it should have.. might be easier, was a bit destroyed today 😬

Should be renamed to "Fanny boulder", that's basically what everyone calls it. Pretty nice, could be around 7C/+ depending on strength and size.. Sit start hopefully next, adds quality for sure 💥😎

2nd go, missed the huge pocket by 5cm on flash try 💥

Maybe FA. cool intro into obvious stand start

Actually really nice! Could become easier if perfect cloudy conditions but today was good conditions and either way felt pretty hard!

Might be easier.. was a bit dirty and took some time to figure out all moves

Really solid cool moves on pockets! Topout a bit sketchy without the correct beta..

Pretty hard to grade. Powerful start, to basically no feet smearing.. sit start was atleast possible until I ripped off a crucial hold..

Nice one..

Campus test

Indoor jug to jug move. weird. Hard to grade. Not easy

Very cool pinch dyno thingy.. not sure how to though make the mantle hard.. 🤔

Big moves

The start is just hard for tall.. otherwise quite okay.

Sit start, but adds nothing to sit down..

Be careful with this rock, even if it looks dry, it might not be that dry. And wet sandstone is super fragile.

One of the best FA's I've done around... Super rock quality, super moves. Very special climb 💥

Pinch squeezing test piece..

Pretty special movements on excellent rock! Very described start to make people start on same spot.

Started below the "box" from the jug. cool climb with good holds on steep terrain.

Maybe forced, maybe not. For the crew at place felt obvious, follow line and topout over the bulge..

Nice power moves trough the overhang into the "forced end"..

A bit forced line, but nice moves, for sure eliminate but yeah, makes kind of sense.

1st go, did hidden gem first so same topout basically..

Slightly easier than left version. very cool indoor style boulder with pinches

Good boulder

Nice roof with hardish mantle

Broken a bit more, probably pretty solid 7B+ if you sit start from a low shitty left hand hold.

Felt pretty hard for grade...

Pretty nice moves! For the end skipped a few holds that felt they might not be solid..

well max stars just because it's a jam boulder.. super nice moves! Also we started as a sit start in last jam.

Something wrong with the beta of FA for sure.. but cool line. A bit sketchy slab with some broken holds here and there.

Very very good one

Hard for tall i guess.. very squeezed in.

Dab sensitive

Dab sensitive ending with the left rock. Felt easier than the right 7A..

Felt pretty powerful. Started from lowest jugs.

FA. Adds a bit of spice to that jump

FA. Pure boulder, big pogo jump to good hold from crappy sloper

Felt a bit easy for grade but good moves.

Cool holds

Good roof, especially for warm days or even rainy days. 1st go after basically warming up on the moves.. it's very 3D so was hard to understand the moves without trying them a couple of times.

Super nice belly boulder

2nd go. nice one. Stiff one move, but very cool one. Albarracin style roof boulder.

Surprisingly balancy and slopey.. looked way easier than it turned out to be.Also could not really use my left leg after hamstring got strained and this might affect feeling as well..

Very nice sloper action! very enjoyable first go, but did the 7A before so no flash..

maybe the bottom of the boulder have been digged out more or so.. did not find the 7A part on this one. started around the middle of the boulder. Mantle is still very cool..

Crimpy but quite nice moves!

Quite a big move to that weird sloper pocket thingy. The traverse in to this felt extremely squeezed in for tall.. so skipped that line

Pretty nice roof, toehooks way too close for tall, so crux lower down, but that left hand sloper always just feels slimey and slippery. today no excuses. good day!

Excellent line!!! Today deserved send with a mental drop down from the very very last move to the good top bulge just before sending.. but then send felt even easy and nice. Good day! 💎

So friction dependent for me that pinch.. but a very very cool climb!!

super cool moves on pinches and slopers.

Very good warm up

Sit start not on rock, from the ground made first move a bit gnarly and then you get some cool moves to get into the 6C

Tricky

some flexibility is good for this one. stand start made no sense. sit start only logical way.

quite a mantle.. the stuff before was just a cool intro

Took some effort. way harder than it looked..

1st go. tried the without arete version first so no real "flash"

More like a 4 star problem... like 2.5 stars or so in 27. but very nice one

Nice one

Nice long power moves. hard to say about grade, not hard, but long moves? Also might feel sketchy for some climbers with that obelisk as a spotter..

Super cool pocket in pocket feature 💎

Pretty stiff for 7A.. Cool moves

Very good climb for the grade.. probably not harder than 6A?

This was super fun!! Took a few tries to figure out balance.

Very nice climbing!

Strong first move, then nice climbing on very nice holds. for me better than Oblivion

Not a 5 star problem.. but very nice indeed

2nd go almost in the dark.. An absolute 💎💎💎💎💎 Super cool climbing all the way!

Super nice problem. A real gem. started as a low stand start.

Slopey cool campus thingy.. what's not to like..

Very slopey. cool thingy. we started more left than video right hand on good hold, left on no friction nothing..

2nd go.. fck up flash by trying to campus.. first go using technique 🤔

a bit low for tall climbers, but nice thingy.

atleast not actually sharp... but nothing really special

Felt pretty stiff.. even for tall..

One move from sharp hold to sloper..

Very nice and technical sloper problem.. get here early if warm. sun hits it around 14.. nice summer surprise send.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very nice steep climb. The line of this overhang, straight topout felt most obvious..

Nice one as well.. lullaby without arete was maybe slightly nicer move wise ⭐⭐

Sadly the sit start first move is ridiculous. no need to come back for that one 🤔😄 Would be though a very good climb with a start from the 1 finger pocket.. 😉

squeezed this one as well..

very nice sloper squeeze thingy. had no clue what I was climbing..

Powerful mini problem

Hard to grade.. traverses are easy to work on and apparently moves become easier when you work on them.. can also be easier when colder..

got rained on.. so sit start can wait until autumn then.. 🤔 The stand was quite nice. left topout.

for grade quite nice

with pygmibeta really nice. but reaching beta.. very boring.

balancy

Fun boulder! campus moves or technical. powerful and just pure enjoyment ⭐⭐⭐⭐

from low sidepull right and low undercling left. nice climbing! made the end slightly harder for sure.

Pretty nice. big lock in end.

1st try, did gorilla fish with same ending first.. so no flash. Also a good one!

2nd go.. rookie flash mistake.. 😄 Good climb anyhow! ⭐⭐⭐

Quite cool climb and saddling...

Powerful

Very nice roof

cool pinching at arete

Very nice ball!! Kind of sketchy topout.. very close to flash but 2nd mistake of the day in these.. 😄

2nd go. Should have flashed 🤦🏻‍♂️😄 Probably more in the 7A/+ category

strong moves

Big move!

1st go. nice problem.. juggy fun

Cool sloper ending with a tricky start. All a bit off in the start..

nice one

Very good add-on to the stand. Not very hard extra but all moves from the start to the end almost same difficulty.. very good boulder that way. Liked the sit more than the stand.

Without the tree I guess it's a bit soft. funny how much the mind changes difficulty.. 🤔😬 Either way, super good.

Very nice climbing

Very nice moves

One move wonder.. and somehow that move felt quite hard today... No skin so no commitment to catch the hold

1st go. Nice moves into the best line on this rock.

"flash". Did Choco before so no real flash

Very good one

A good circuit for an easy day or for beginners. Newly painted so most of the stuff is totally new, not glassy or slippery.

First early bird gets the tick boulder..

super crimpy.. but kind of cool..

quite hard mantle. goes over left of arete directly over bulge with bad slopers..

Sensitive climbing.. cool compression egg!

Nice wide compression thingy ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Didn't dare to do anything else than a proper heel hook mantle and I've done plenty of 6C's or harder mantles that are easier than this one.. it's a bit mental which makes it hard for me. mind game.

Easily same grade as some red circuits, TD/- would be correct. It was though very warm today! For me number 12 (mantle!!!) felt super hard. Felt very mental to commit to. otherwise nice climbs and a lot of them. basically no traverses. Very high recommendation!!!

classic for a reason.. super nice roof climb. send train with Matt! 💥

super good climbing. Nice hand jam topout

Have done way easier 7A's in Cuisiniere than this one.. Cool climb still!

Adds a bit of quality

Cool moves

2nd go.. start is nothing. all in the topout.

Very cool powerful start into tricky topout

Extremely cool pinches and stemming. technical and of course again, looks way easier than it was. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very nice one. a bit soft for the grade but cool compression and mantle ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very nice overhanging power boulder. This was a good one! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

mmm.. if not trying to reach and climb it with tiny steps, this felt easily like 6B/C.. not sure how the heck it's only a 5!

Fun small powerful boulder.. why not done? 🤔

very good technical thing

very good slab! off balance all the time!

2nd go. Nice small compression thingy

very very nice! climbed it twice just because it's so super good! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Erosion makes this maybe slightly higher and sketchier nowadays..

all kind of nice features.. and a crack!

Nice powerful roof.. with a jam! 💥

Not so special compared to Abyss!

Very very nice one!!

Quite nice slopers.. felt a bit squeezed in for my size in the end..

Good new rock.. still a bit sandy..

Cool tension Boulder with a hand jam.. ⭐⭐⭐

Shallow start.. takes away one star..

Balancy and nice. grade hard to say.. would be happy with anything between 7A and 7C.. power required about 7A, but technically harder..

Pretty cool pinch/sloper crux thingy..

hard last move. started both hands on undecling thingy

small but very technical and cool. Nice pinch feature ⭐⭐⭐

This one felt more like 7A/+. even for tall. Very slopey holds, very technical start. Topout directly without moving left or escaping right.

7A is a joke the way people climb this.. A bunch of the 5+/6A's in Bois rond are harder than this one. Not sure how Tony made the FA because he is also quite tall 🤔

Besides being an eliminate, it's super good. nice compression, weird holds, bad slopers and feet. all work together. Have done easier 7C's in the forêt ⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the best short circuits I've done. no rehearsal needed. Super cool and technical.

stars fully because of beta used. Did a huge ninja kick making it feel like a super boulder. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

one move wonder. felt pretty easy?

Very good climbing on good holds!

Very good moves! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For tall the low start is basically a sit start from the pinch and the arete. That pinch is such a cool hold!

Powerful moves. nice one. avoid climbing if wet at all 💥

Quite Powerful climbing. nice moves. very different from El Paso droite

very good rock quality but very squeezed in position for tall in the beginning 😁

Very nice knobs ⭐⭐⭐

Started with something very small for left hand and a good sidepull right hand.. not super easy 😬

Nice smooth sloper action ⭐⭐⭐

Technical and powerful. cool climb

Small mantle thingy.. nice features 💥

Took some tries.. did a higher stand start in a couple of ways but starting from the underclings changed the game. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Easiest way out..

Huh.. didn't get that right heel to work... so needed to squeeze that pinch a bit. Good training that way 🤔💥

Not bad at all, landing makes one move a bit sketchy though.

Felt a big hard for grade but very good climb.. Could be 7B easily 🤔

Nice climb! Good option for dry periods with warm weather.. stays cool enough ⭐⭐⭐

Very good circuit with some problems that are not soooo easy.. Newly painted 3/2022.

Nice little round thingy

A bit harder than the shorter exit. Nice traverse.

2nd try. Felt quite easy for grade.

good climbing.. up via a cool sidepull and in-between the existing lines.. ⭐⭐⭐

In the 7B+/C range. powerful start into nice ending ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I like compression. so this was fun! ⭐⭐⭐

very nice moves. hard move to establish to undercling ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Couple of tries but those crimps felt hard to hold for the grade. maybe had the wrong beta..

Shared start with tiliak so no flash. 1st go though. that jug is awesome ⭐⭐⭐

Very nice boulder ⭐⭐⭐

Very cool climbing. rest of this block can wait for autumn fast drying stuff...

quite interesting climbing. More tricky than it looked 💥

Grade around 7C/+. Hard to grade. my style, 2 sessions. very slopey! time will tell. very happy with this one ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very balancy and nice

Small and slopey. very good 💫

Added some spice to that sloper.. Better than the stand

Very nice technical proud line, a couple of goes. very slopey sloper..

Couple of tries. very powerful boulder. Cool though ⭐⭐⭐

Weird pinch into nice movement..

Very weird "pinch".. harder than it looked..

Very nice climbing

The obvious line out of the start. directly up (or actually a bit right).. Good warm up for the block and a nice climb itself

could be 7A+? 2nd go or so.. Powerful moves but doable for all sizes more or less ⭐⭐⭐⭐

2nd go.. kind of hard start for tall.. but then very easy climbing. grade unsure..

a bit of a one mover but nice one..

Very good, will be a future popular one I guess 💥⭐⭐⭐⭐

very good. sit started from undercling ⭐⭐⭐⭐

2nd go. Should have flashed.. 😜 Good climb though, always thought it's a bit stupid and squeezed in for tall..

Very precise spot, don't escape to early to the top using holds left.. Filip beta, very nice holds and moves 💫⭐💥

A bit forced, but cool moves! 💥

Very nice juggy warm up 💎

Powerful compression on quite bad holds..

compared to jubile, this is harder..

Added a big of pump for the stand

stand start.. Balancy moves

Added like one move to the stand, but made the full line IMHO

Very crimpy. Quite nice one.

Cool moves. very nice topout.
