Join us as Senne, Lizzy, and Sam explore the world-renowned bouldering destination of Fontainebleau for the very first time! With its seemingly endless forests and abundant sandstone boulders, Fontainebleau is a must-visit spot for any boulderer. For beginners, climbing in Fontainebleau can be both exhilarating and daunting. The sheer variety of problems, from easy circuits to more advanced routes, offers something for everyone, but the area's reputation can feel intimidating at first.
Mike and Robin join the team on the second day to share their know-how and spur on the noobies. Their guidance helps ease the initial overwhelm, making it easier for us newcomers to enjoy the unique texture of Fontainebleau’s sandstone and the natural beauty of the forest setting.
Fontainebleau's welcoming bouldering community and its rich climbing history create an inspiring atmosphere that motivates climbers of all levels to push their limits and relish the climbing experience.

This is where we become pen pals! Leave a comment to let us know what you think of the video? ✍
This is the best vid I have seen on Font. cheers guys! Can't wait to go next week.
Thanks Harvey! Enjoy! Senne will be hanging out there somewhere hehe
the yellow arrow means its part of a parkour... where you run from one boulder to the next...
Instant Subscription, great story telling and visuals, it's truly immersing. I'm certain you'll do great with this overall quality, all the best to you all.
Thanks for the feedback, Jordan! It means a lot as a small channel starting out 😀
If you go back there, could you do a video on the logistics of visiting Font for those that have never been. Where to stay, eat, costs, which guidebooks or apps are best, parking, the walk in and finding the boulders, can you get by if you don't speak French etc.
We'll make sure to cover some of those topics in future videos!
Maunoury is beautiful!
going there on a solo trip this july trip I cant wait!
Enjoy your trip, Aaron!
Enjoyable video, very faithful to title and thumbnail, with decent production. Hope it encourages you to continue
Hey really nice video. I actually had the first impression that this was a way bigger channel and not your first video. You seam so calm and experienced narrating the whole thing.
That means a lot 😀 Thanks for reaching out and hope you enjoy what we make in the future! 🥰
Awesome vid! Really helped me know what I should try in font!
Glad to hear that!
"walrus your way up" 😅👌
😇
Great video! Subscribed :)
Thanks Lian!
Sick video dude
Thank you! 🌲
You are so strong for clam on the rock
Ive become a fan of going to less "popular" crags. The climbs are great and the rock is better quality. Did you ever try the lower start to good vibrations? Super pumpy
Mike tried it in that session! 7a so a whole different class than the 6a haha!
How does a walrus climb ? 😁 Next time pay Bas Cuvier a visit big area, parking spot and no walk in
9:19 This is Robin’s best impression of a climbing walrus! 😇
@@walrusclimbing 🤣
Has someone told you about the circuits? And what they represent? Or even better have you tried one?
We haven't tried one yet, but it's definitely on our list! What do you mean with "what they represent"? Do you mean they combine the same grade?
I’m sorry i’m dutch so english is not my native language, but the’re not just a group of boulders they were opened by climbers who trained for the alps. So they represent big mountain routes, it also about route finding and exposure training as they climbed it without crashmat. The circuits with the high grades were either that or testpieces from the locals in what could be done. Imagine they had no crashmats so it was a psyche thing too. This is in very short said of course
7:01 G-shock GD-350 on wrist??? total shot in the dark
It’s apparently a Garmin Instinct!
I wear my GSTB100-1A when I'm climbing now and then, its my daily :D
@@lylecxi7298 that is a beautiful G-shock. id be too scared to damage it, even though they built like tanks. I would personally use a Timex ironman or something of the sort
@@EthanJahnz yeah, i understand. haven't and probably won't wear it climbing outdoors... i don't feel bad bumping it against doorframes or wood or my car door, but if i hit it against a rock i certainly think the steel and glass could get scraped :/
i also wear my Venu 2, especially for route climbing. it has an activity tracker that shows data on each of your climbs.
i have a protective folie on the face and dont have any noticable scratches after 1.5 years of bouldering and climbing with it on
