It's still unrepeated as far as I'm aware. http://bleau.info/cailles/2332.html There may be more unrepeated boulders at font of this grade. Also, the number of boulders you mention are just what is in the latest guide. There are currently well over 2300 straight-ups, 900 traverses and 3200 variants registered graded 7a or harder with many unexplored boulders. In the meantime his boulder has been registered and named. Congratulations Dave.. Excellent achievement! http://bleau.info/forum/15970.html Don’t forget about Trip Hop, 8C.

Pof is the only problem with the forest. The use of pof have distroyed many of the classic lines and also the most beautiful lines too. And like Jamie say, there is numerous of problems in Bas Cuvier with grey glue. I can’t understand how people in Font can defend the use of pof. Pof is the only problem with the forest.

We have been spending our time at some of the more quiet areas and have thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the magic forest. We are all amazed at the quality and quantity of climbing in the region.

There are numerous problems at Bas Cuvier in which grey glue has been smeared on to prevent footholds from sanding. Nearly every single hand hold at Bas Cuvier is slick and disgusting from the use of pof. I have discussed this issue with some of the strongest climbers in Font and none of them use pof. In the US we have some very old sandstone areas the have seen almost no hold degradation whatsoever from the use of chalk, and in fact these areas are more than 50 years old. When used exclusively it seems obvious that chalk has no long term effects. I am not trying to change the ethic here in Fontainebleau, merely trying to express my disappointment.

But still, bienvenue! and enjoy the rest forest and its classics (Duel, L'angle Parfait, La Pierre Philosophale etc) Well it sounds like you’ve found out about Font’s biggest problem –a city with 10 million inhabitants located a mere 40 miles away…from the all too famous Bas Cuvier.
