As we get more and more time to explore the forest we have seen many amazing problems. My favorite sectors are away from the road tucked into the woods with a handful of nice problems on great rock. We have been limited by the weather which is a bit frustrating, and somehow our grand European adventure is down to 6 days. After several rest days the forecast looks good for tomorrow and I am psyched to get back on the rock. Here are some pictures of from the “magic forest”

Olson sends Salle Gosse a great 7C at Rocher aux Sabot
Olson and I have had a couple great sending days. Last week it was an amazing overhang Fata Morgana low 8A+ or 8B, at Coquibus Long Vaux. A very majestic problem. Today, Chad and Dave joined us for a nice session and Ryan, Chad and I all did the very beautiful Les Beaux Quartiers 8A at Rocher de Bouligny.

Looks like you all are having an awesome bouldering trip! Angie was a camper of mine a long time ago at Camp Ernst in KY. You all are welcome to come stay with my husband Frank and I if you want to hit up the Frankenjura. We live 25 minutes away from Action Directe and have plenty of room at our house. But, since you only have 6 days left, I imagine you’ll want to spend them all in Font. Maybe your next trip over to Europe… Send me an e-mail if you all need a place to stay in the Frankenjura, we should be here a few more years.
If you have time do check out Rubis sur l’onge in Gorges aux chats. It’s a spectacular 7b+ that’s rarely been done by women (Lisa rands and Lynn Hill are proud exceptions).
