Bouldering Fontainebleau

August 2009

Five super cool cats. One very small car. Four DMS Bouldering mats. And a group attitude that we had 6 days to explore the magical area of Fontainebleau and 'Climb as hard as we possibly could' - we knew we were in for an EPIC time. And that it was!

Drew (Drewski), Trudie (Trudestarz), Loren (Loz), Gareth (G.G) and Jase (Swami Jhzoo Jhzoo) and myself were the crew.  We worked a pretty tight but cruisy schedule of 7am yoga and pranayama sessions in the trees, walking to the french Baguette man where Jase would crack me up, trying in his best french accent to order the banquet of croissants and baguettes for the day. Meanwhile back at camp base, fresh coffee was being brewed by Loz, perfecting the best espresso in the world!

It was seriously one of the best weeks climbing in my life! The crew was *magic*, the climbing culture of FONT was in-beatable and the bouldering itself indescribable!
