Mari's send it Sitting Bull might be my favourite climbing thing ever. Casually grabbing her chalk bag mid way through AND crazy splits move AND beached whale finish!!!! Love it!
absolute pleasure watching Mari climb. She manages to look so dedicated and so casual at the same time, and really using every possible bodyposition to get there.
23:03 Pete running around the woods of Font, jamming every crack he sees, excitedly saying "Jams!" is the kind of pure Wide Boyz energy I feel on every sport climb where I find a jam. Crack climbing is best climbing!
It wasn’t until then that I realized I’d only heard cuckoos in clock form; I didn’t know their actual call was so deep and full. Absolutely delightful!
Always fun to see you and Mari doing destination climbing. You can see the passion and fun come out and it feels like people enjoying the sport in a vibey sort of way.
what a nice trio they are! they all seem to enjoy and respect a silent send. thanks for those - a delight to watch. and all super strong - causally flashing very difficult boulders. cool.
Loved the split screen, it shows how giving in to "panic" exhausts more the athlete than staying cool and pacing the moves even if it means to stay in akward positions a little longer
My two cents on the flashing thing: Inside (boulder gym): - flash: only touch starter holds and complete the route Outside (bleau,etc): - flash: touch (but don't try) all you like, do it on first -try- to flash - onsight flash: flash without touching stuff / prior knowledge The reasoning being that the 'holds' outside are in essence not defined, since technically you can hold on to anything you prefer. You don't have that choice in the gym.
This made me go through some of my finest memories from the time I was living there, and thought that trying crack boulders way above my limit was a way to learn crack techniques!
4:04 . To the doggie lovers out there, please be aware of these “processionary caterpillars” …….they can really fuck with their respiratory system 🙏🏻❤️. Ps great content as always 🤌🏻🧗🏻♂️
Despite popular opinion, I will always say bouldering onsight is a thing! Flash = first try with prior knowledge. Onsight = first try no prior knowledge. At the end of the day, climbing something first try, and climbing something first try after watching someone else and then having them tell you the best solution, are two completely different things! How else do you distinguish these if not using onsight to describe it?
Noooo, i'm so sad pure line was wet 😢😢😮 It's one i'd had such a battle wise when i started climbing, you need to come back to try it ! But in the summer, it take about a week without rain for pure line tu dry due to all the dirt that's on the top of it So cool you did that video will defenetly go for a crack day in bleau soon ! 😊 Oh and you should try "L'amour noit d'ussy cat" 8a Super wide crack but it's a hard one !
Great video, thanks helps a lot! ..and Mari, you always seem super excited when you climb ...you all, always seem to have the best time. It may not be a crack destination, but i bet it was a great trip.
I personally just ask people when I don't know what a grading system means and try whatever I feel comfortable trying or looks fun to me, even if it is way out of my league. Even one or two moves, even just holding the starting position on something too hard helps progress and can be fun to try. So... yeah , I don't mind too much about grading. I would like to see a worldwide standardized grading system being accepted but most but well... American people still don't use metric so, you know...
@@vartaghan I agree that trying a grade you might think is too hard is a great way to learn. The trouble with different measuring systems it that a group of people get too familiar with their own system to change.
Careful with those freaking caterpillars (pine processionary) and everything they touch! And if you have a dog even more., if they eat them they might lose part of the tongue.
I saw a crack there that was quite a bit smaller than every fingertip on my hand w/barely any adjacent holds and couldn't figure out how it was climbed. This was back in the mid-1980s, before Boreal Ninjas.
Upon checking bleau info, top 3 hardest crack climbs (excluding traverses and Toit d'Orsay) are: Corps Accord (assis) 8B @Cuisiniere Frisson 8A+ @Rocher Greau Le Roi des Fous 8A @Cuisiniere (A bold climb right next to Karma) plus a famous chimney-ish climb L'Amour Noir d'Ussy Cat 8A @Mont Ussy Maybe you might want to check those out? :)
Yes Ussy Cat we checked multiple times but it was always wet unfortunately. The first 3 have some kind of crack features but unfortunately aren't really jamming, or at least the grade they're given isn't for the jamming part of it.
12:23 I always thought with outdoors boulders you can touch every hold you can reach from the ground, not sure about touching but not weighting them and using aid like a ladder
There is a (really easy) textbook crack boulder in restant du long rocher between boulder red 13 "L'inconnue" and red 12 "La Tricontante". It's not on any topo afaik but i discovered it while at long rocher.
Bit uncomfortable to say this in front of Pete here but here goes: Deeply in love with Mari 😍 And her voice! I think she has the cutest/*ex*est voice in climbing! Btw I was kinda disappointed by her appearance on JamCrack. Not her fault though, I think Niall did a rather bad job. He does that sometimes... Mari should do her own podcast!
There is a nice crackfuture back in the cave of quoi de neuf called ugly pic ore something. I think it is "offwidth" all the way. (don't know much about crackclimbing, maybee I'm wrong.)

Yea that was awesome! you know it's a proper overhang when your half way through and can still use your chalk bag thats on the ground!!!!
that was so savage
Same! That crossed legs beta at the start looks freaky!
Well said! Beached whale all the way
Beached whale 🐋😂
absolute pleasure watching Mari climb. She manages to look so dedicated and so casual at the same time, and really using every possible bodyposition to get there.
I love seeing her climb.
@@decadeca Yeah she was the winner of this video for sure.
Mari is an absolute efficiency machine. Not a single drop of wasted or misdirected effort. It's poetic to watch.
this one's got it all
✅️ cracks
✅️ humor
✅️ Mari
✅️ excitement(?)
❌️ crack destination
Even got Tom! (Just a Norwegian Thomas instead)
And cuckoo birds.
@@mr.l6332 Pretty sure there was a Tom impersonation at the end too 🤔
The end had proper „the office” vibe. Great editing
Mari is such an elegant climber. Loved the vid!

shoutout to the gjøk (cuckoo) in the forest. great climbing too!
It wasn’t until then that I realized I’d only heard cuckoos in clock form; I didn’t know their actual call was so deep and full. Absolutely delightful!
4:53 pete admits crack is not real climbing...but a sloper is.
Always fun to see you and Mari doing destination climbing. You can see the passion and fun come out and it feels like people enjoying the sport in a vibey sort of way.
what a nice trio they are! they all seem to enjoy and respect a silent send. thanks for those - a delight to watch.

So great to see more of Mari. Such a graceful strong climber and i love the vibes ❤ more please :)
the end has proper meme potential. jammed
Maris' Accent mashup with Yorkshire Dialect and colloquialisms; Plus Pete's effortless charm and Humour :)
Happy to see Mari again! What a crusher.
Mari's chalking method is so badass lol, great video!
What a great video!! Y'all are beasts!
Loved the split screen, it shows how giving in to "panic" exhausts more the athlete than staying cool and pacing the moves even if it means to stay in akward positions a little longer
Pete’s ASDA bag for life cracked me up!!
Wide Pony with only your toes --> Wide Tony🦶
Wide Toeny
I'm confused: shouldn't a Wide Tony involve at least one knee - and Wide Pony too, I suppose? Or am I overthinking the phonetic aspect?
I love the split screen sends, which show time and again what an incredibly elegant and efficient climber Mari is. Cracking good video!
That wave rock at 22:42 is so sick... Font looks like a dream! Great climbing!
Good music and proper vibe!
You amaze me every time Pete. ❤
I like hearing the "Coucou" divine behind you while you are struggling.
Really cool to watch the feet beta on a "crack feature" as opposed to a pure crack. Educational content!
My two cents on the flashing thing:
Inside (boulder gym):
- flash: only touch starter holds and complete the route
Outside (bleau,etc):
- flash: touch (but don't try) all you like, do it on first -try- to flash
- onsight flash: flash without touching stuff / prior knowledge
The reasoning being that the 'holds' outside are in essence not defined, since technically you can
hold on to anything you prefer. You don't have that choice in the gym.
Lovely vibes! It makes me feel nostalgic for Font.
This made me go through some of my finest memories from the time I was living there, and thought that trying crack boulders way above my limit was a way to learn crack techniques!
Mari is so strong and stylish, such an inspiration 🚀
Come to Annot next time, I would love to see you climb there !
Yes Mari!!! Amazing!!!! You are an inspiration.
14:47 the cuckoo approves the technique.
Mari is a *sick* climber! Absolutely amazing to watch!
Loved the editing, the splitscreens and talk-over, well done =)
Was on Pure Line a couple months back. I need to work on my paddle hands before trying it again 😅 Felt like I was at home in the Peak District.
the music for these videos is so good
Like the choice of music and the hiking group in the background. :)
Well done guys, and especially Mari on the "crack slopers" 🙂
I always use the rule. Onsight not touching any holds. And with flash you can touch the holds you can reach from the ground
Really glad to see you not climbing on damp rock in Font!! There has been too much of that lately...
For some reason it seems like as time goes on, Pete is sounding more and more like Tom... 😅
Very enjoyable episode, love watching you just having a good time 😊🎉 And I really liked the music in this episode ❤👏✨️
You guys are my favorite crackheads! 💞
I never like/interact with anything on TH-cam. I liked this video. Very well made
Thomas looks like he's going to absolutely explore on every climb lol
Because he's a normal human next to a couple of freaks
4:04 . To the doggie lovers out there, please be aware of these “processionary caterpillars” …….they can really fuck with their respiratory system 🙏🏻❤️.
Ps great content as always 🤌🏻🧗🏻♂️
Despite popular opinion, I will always say bouldering onsight is a thing!
Flash = first try with prior knowledge.
Onsight = first try no prior knowledge.

It's one i'd had such a battle wise when i started climbing, you need to come back to try it ! But in the summer, it take about a week without rain for pure line tu dry due to all the dirt that's on the top of it
So cool you did that video will defenetly go for a crack day in bleau soon ! 😊
Oh and you should try "L'amour noit d'ussy cat" 8a
Super wide crack but it's a hard one !
Yes we checked ussy cat multiple times as well,but unfortunately it was always wet
Awesome video!
A jolly good time indeed!
Love seeing Mari climb.
Pure line being too wet is just typical. It’s been a project of mine for 4 years now, I only was able to climb on it 3 times during that time period.
That was awesome. Watching Mari climb is an inspiration. Wondering if she did any FFAs in this vid..?
Epic. If you are still around, and if its dry, you could try "pure line" which is also really cool
Mari at peak excitement on the thumbnail
There's a highball groove/offwidth thing at Bas Cuvier. Best done on a roasting hot day at the end of an exhausting session.
Great video, thanks helps a lot! ..and Mari, you always seem super excited when you climb ...you all, always seem to have the best time.
It may not be a crack destination, but i bet it was a great trip.
I like the editing.
I've always heard it's still a flash if you touch anything you can reach from the ground without weighting the holds.
The person who brought you the Norwegian swing, introduces the Norwegian circumcised hand and the official World Cup ladders 🪜. 😂
Funny how English speaking climbers call Fontainebleau "Font" when we French climbers call it « Bleau ».
Do you call it the Bleau grading system too, or as French people do you just assume there is no other grading system worth using?
I personally just ask people when I don't know what a grading system means and try whatever I feel comfortable trying or looks fun to me, even if it is way out of my league. Even one or two moves, even just holding the starting position on something too hard helps progress and can be fun to try.
So... yeah , I don't mind too much about grading. I would like to see a worldwide standardized grading system being accepted but most but well... American people still don't use metric so, you know...
@@vartaghan I agree that trying a grade you might think is too hard is a great way to learn.

We German Parkour Guys also call it Bleau.
The Salvesen is Back!
Next time you should definitely check out Amour noir at Ussy ! It's more of a chimney/wider kind of crack, but a beautiful feature indeed.
Tom looks way different in this video
I truly love watching Mari climb her excellent footwork coupled with her impressive flexibility makes her technique so unique.
Using the Harry Dwyer soundtrack in this one, ha!
"A thin wide pony" it sounds like a contradiction but it isn't... in this context :D
Great content lads love watching this shit
Mari is an absolute beast! Go Mari!
Pete's acting like a kid in a candy store in the outro clips lmao
Its funny hearing you call the sloper section of the second boulder real climbing
Not throwing shade but why did you choose to not wear tape / wide boys gloves for the session?
Sometimes it's nice to just climb bare hands 😀
It forces you to climb with more precision, which I enjoy.
Careful with those freaking caterpillars (pine processionary) and everything they touch! And if you have a dog even more., if they eat them they might lose part of the tongue.
Pete and Mari have picked up one another’s accents, just a little 😊
Was that a cookoo in the background??
Great video would love to try these boulders
When you're excited, but also Norwegian.
I saw a crack there that was quite a bit smaller than every fingertip on my hand w/barely any adjacent holds and couldn't figure out how it was climbed. This was back in the mid-1980s, before Boreal Ninjas.
total vibes in nature

@@WideBoyz Yeah, you are most probably right :) Bummer about the Ussy Cat... maybe one day..!
Mari is a freaking beast! For et beist!
My dream project is a 7B in font.. after seeing Pete struggle af on a 7C I realise I need to practice a couple of more years before I'll send that one
nahhhhh
easy cake
12:23 I always thought with outdoors boulders you can touch every hold you can reach from the ground, not sure about touching but not weighting them and using aid like a ladder
Since Mari is climbing so much and so well on your channel, you should rename it to "The Wide Guyz"
There is a (really easy) textbook crack boulder in restant du long rocher between boulder red 13 "L'inconnue" and red 12 "La Tricontante". It's not on any topo afaik but i discovered it while at long rocher.
it's Pierre Whittaker now
That sit start pad throw at min 3:22 is criminal😭
Mari is properly ripped as all balls!! Wish I had shoulders even half that good!
Bit uncomfortable to say this in front of Pete here but here goes:
Deeply in love with Mari 😍
And her voice! I think she has the cutest/*ex*est voice in climbing!
Btw I was kinda disappointed by her appearance on JamCrack. Not her fault though, I think Niall did a rather bad job. He does that sometimes...
Mari should do her own podcast!
how many cuckoos are in Fontainbleau!? Seems like there is an audible cuckoo in every second shot...
There is a nice crackfuture back in the cave of quoi de neuf called ugly pic ore something. I think it is "offwidth" all the way. (don't know much about crackclimbing, maybee I'm wrong.)
Yay Mari❤
Happy Mari = happy video ✨
Guys I haven’t watched this yet but if I was going to request a video this would have been it. Cheers
Was fun seeing your car all over Font 🤣
Wow, Magnus' disguise is quite good this time! Didn't recognize him at all
You miss some off-width feature :
Amour Noir 7b+ Mont Ussy
Unfortunately it was always wet. We checked numerous times over multiple days... It looked really cool though
too sad. I would love to see you in this boulder 😓 by the way, great video as always.
Mari is next level in tryharding
Nice !
My absolute nemesis boulder is a full body off width in elephant in font. Would love to see it done. Probably only a 4a 😂
