Jour 10
Trip back home - on the road again
30 octobre 2020, France ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Time to pack our things and go! With Lockdown upon France as of today, we spent our last morning for this this stay and packed our things - and then talked for 2 hours with Virginie and Cyrile in the yard :-) it was really nice to see them and really sad to have to leave and not be able to share a meal or similar.

Hopefully we can be back 🔜 🤞 🤞 🤞 we already miss it 😢En savoir plus

Jour 9
Last day in Fontainebleau, then lockdown
29 octobre 2020, France ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Sadly, today was the last day - we just confirmed by looking at the details of the lockdown that indeed, it is the same as in March - 1 hour maximum of leaving the house for a maximum distance of 1 km... 😔 they does not make for any bouldering conditions...

But we did use the day well - we did 10 red Parcours boulders in Franchard Isatis and then worked on a really nice 6b - Side Show Bob - most of today’s pictures were taken in this problem.

We also met a really nice person to accompany us: Laurens from Belgium who actually just arrived today for a 10-day-stay - fingers crossed that he can still do something now🤞En savoir plus

Jour 8
Power moves in Canche aux merciers
28 octobre 2020, France ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Perfect conditions for bouldering today in Canche auf merciers 🤩 we started a tad bit later than planned but today the weather gods were positive and we climbed till the late afternoon without any rain drops.

We started with warming up in some easy problems and then found first a 6a ✅, then a 6b ✅ (see video for Anna :-)), then a 6b+ traverse with difficult top-out and Bertram even managed a 6c+ 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Really happy, we came home, prepared some “emergency” snack 😅 and talked to Bertram’s parents which was really nice. And now: dinner with movies 📺

Let’s see what new announcements for possible lock-downs will be...En savoir plus

Jour 7
Short day of climbing + walk in the rain
27 octobre 2020, France ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
Today, we went back early on the morning to Bois Rond to try our luck with the latest projects. Before we left the car, we discovered a previously unnoticed guest: a huge spider 🕷 on projects, well - some good advancements, but nothing finished before the rain started. But we are around for some more days 💪🏼💪🏼

We then went to shop some more food items for later, returned home and left only for a walk around the quite empty town later.

Evening was a bit of work for Anna and then: Babylon Berlin with episode 10 - only 2 more to go 🤪

Last thing that happened was planning to tomorrow - we both feel like seeing some new stuff, so, Canche Aux Merciers it will beEn savoir plus

Jour 6
Projects, projects :-)
26 octobre 2020, France ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
We woke up early to gleaming sunlight - a perfect day to try our luck at Bois Rond with our multi-year project: “La Quille” (6b+).

We started immediately there to warm up and then were locked in for a good 1.5 hours. To our surprise, we found another solution (or did we really remember the solution from last time = 2 years ago well?!). Anyhow: Bertram did it! Anna is closer than ever 🙌🏻💪🏼😎

We went on from there in search of new projects and found “Obli-Yettes”, super nice 6b boulder from a cave to a slopery finish. Outcome was similar to the first: Bertram used Anna’s beta and did it after a few tries and Anna got soooooo close - but not quite 😅 a new project no. 2 ...

Happy and tired and with really thin skin on the finger tips we went home, cooked a nice gratin with champignons and pasta and ... well, watched Babylon Berlin 📺En savoir plus

Jour 5
Rest Day (for the record)
25 octobre 2020, France ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
Today was a lazy day at home: with a rainy day and COVID going on, we stayed at home and spent the day reading, watching movies, talking to friends on the phone :-)

Tomorrow’s going to be a great day - with an attempt to send the bouldering project “La Quille” in Bois Rond.En savoir plus

Jour 4
Bouldering - Parcour style!
24 octobre 2020, France ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
This is day to three in a row - so we figured that we wanted to take it easy - parkour instead of hard moves :-)

Turns out that the choice was great - and the blue 20-problem parcour in Rocher Guichot not too easy either. We started shortly after 12:00 midday and finished with the advent of dusk at 18:50 - what a day.

The boulders offered a nice variety with focus on slab climbing which we had not done a lot of in Bleau in this stay. So good practice with the up to 5c slabs :-)

We both were super hungry upon return, cooking Spaghetti Bolognese and spending the evening watching Babylon Berlin.En savoir plus

Jour 3
Boulder action in Rocher de la Reine
23 octobre 2020, France ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Today, we had a lazy morning :-) we slept in to 09:00 after awaking to the 07:00 o’clock rain shower 🌧 . Then, we watched the Euraktiv discussion on Bertram’s co-authored “Systems change compass” - interesting and so proud :-)

Then we ventured into the Carrefour to stock up on some fresh ingredients before the weekend when likely more people would be out shopping. 👍🏼

Then, it was finally time to hit the road to the “Bois Rond” parking area from which we were going to reach the still unknown area of “Rocher de la Reine”. Anna had tirelessly researched a suitable spot following the extensive rain. The area proved awesome!

We started to warm up with an easy blue bolder and then started with the first “real” problem - “Baby Boum” (left variant) 6a+. After some difficulties initially, we found a good solution and both sent it! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Then we wandered around with our sandwiches and found a lot of more nice looking, interesting problems! Bertram tried another 6b and got the to the top and Anna found a new “favorite problem” on a 6a+ overhang :-) need to come back soon!

At home, we had a good evening with a fast meal (leek-veggie minced meat-cream sauce with polenta) and an episode of Babylon!En savoir plus

Jour 2
The first boulders sent!
22 octobre 2020, France ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We left at 10:30 this morning to check out a new area that we had not climbed in before: Beauvais - Loutteville.

It turned it that the rock was wetter than expected but we found some good problems to try out. It worked well with a 6a landed after a few tries 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

As the other boulders were too wet and blocky, we decided to check out Bas Cuvier again - also with success, especially Bertram doing the famous Marie Rose (6a+) again. Descent was a bit sketchy with the wet rock though....

Then it started to rain 🌧 and we went for a coffee and relaxation/last work home.

Now, we are having a look of where to go tomorrow!En savoir plus

Jour 1
Travel to Fontainebleau
21 octobre 2020, France ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Today was our day on the road. We had a calm morning, packing our things at home, organizing the rental car and then leaving for our long awaited trip!

We drove into the inner city to pick up the crash pads at the DAV and celebrated the start of the vacation with a coffee at Vits coffee roasters :-) it’s a tradition already :-)

Then we were on the road for 8:45 hours - really long but today, the traffic situation was really light and, thus; the drive not as exhaustive. Also, miraculously, we had left a good 2 hours before usual leaving times making this a change compared to “Kloss arrival by 2:00 in the morning” (credit of this quote to our friend Philipp).

We listened to a couple of new audio books (—> Quality Land 2.0!!!) and podcasts and arrived safe and sound at 22:30 in Perthes.En savoir plus
