My elbows are recovering slowly, but part from that I feel pretty fit. Fontainebleau was the first outdoor trip after Kandersteg last summer. I love the Fontainebleau forest in April.

 It was february 1. in 2008 when I stumbled upon Vimeo. Since then I didn’t start making videos, but Vimeo itself has become the leading high-quality climbing video website in the world.

For some reason I like to see non-sponsored, unknown climbers making unexpected ascents. Lucas Ménégatti, a French climber, climbed one of the hardest problems in Fontainebleau ´The Island´ 8b+ and is making progression on the first repeat of ‘The Big Island´8c. Just back from four days of bouldering in Fontainebleau. Here’s an impression in four pictures. I’ve updated my Fontainebleau gallery. Made two out of one… threw some pictures away and added some new. Most pics are shot with my e300, some with my old powershot. Funny thing, there’s one picture that’s the opposite of a picture in the 7+8 - 1789 straight ups Fontainebleau guidebook: check out page 118. Click here [...] Don’t watch this video at work. Go home, sit back and watch it fullscreen. Chuck Fryberger made a short movie about Finnish boulderer Nalle Hukkataival for Black Diamond. |
