Font is wikkid. Did I mention Font is wikkid?

Yep, it's all true Font is wikkid. Even with my bung ankle holding me back Jo and I had a great day. Boulders everywhere, problems everywhere, lovely forest and only a little bit of French Poo around to avoid stepping in.

Me in the forest on top of a boulder. Lovely day!


Tried all kinds of problems. Faces, overhangs, aretes (no falls and ankle not buggered anymore!) but didn't want to risk another bad landing so just took it easy. Hardest problem I got must have only been around V3 but did loads of V1's and 2's that were super cool.

Jo had a great day as well cranking it out in her new pair of Cobras from Telemark-Prynees. Nice place to start getting into bouldering I think!

Me on some problem on some boulder somewhere at Curiver....(there was just so many of them!)

Some stuff went super easy and other stuff that was meant to be easy as I just could not touch! Sequence stuff I guess. Some of the easier problems had really badly polished foot holds but just crank hard and it's sweet as. Will be going back sometime in the future. Be great to get a H-Town massive crew together over there and show the Frence (they were all super, super strong chain smoking sending machines that I saw) how to do it. Who is keen! I've got all the beta sorted on how to get there, where to stay, how to get around etc. Nice!

Me on a cool V3-4'sih problem (sorry about not being able to rotate the photo before I loaded it up!) Nice throw to a crappy edge then crank up and over the top to glory and try not to fall off!



So in summary - Font is wikkid. We were lucky with the weather. Friday was nice to climb but got pretty warm. Saturday it pissed down with rain (we went to Paris) and this morning it dried out enough for a couple of hours but looked like it was going to rain again as we left.

Got 5 days in the States now (Arizona and then Las Vegas) then home so will see most of you on Tuesday the 16th down at the wall aye!
