    I remember working a problem once in the late 90's and Francois Legrand was stealing my beta. I told him he should probably go first and work out better beta and he told me it was his first time to Fontainebleau and he wasn't used to bouldering. I told him, since he was the reigning World Cup lead champion surely he'd work out better beta than I could come up with. He was a nice humble guy to work a problem with. I've had so many great memories like this climbing in the forest...

    I've only been to Font once, back in 1982. This was still before sticky rubber and pads, as well as chalk: You were only supposed to use some natural resin (from fir trees?).
