      Thanks Thomas. Glad you liked it. Your absolutely right about the wet rock. We need to take care of these amazing places. 👍

    Love the video! Really excited to go back there for a proper attempt there. During my previous visit I really was just a beginner.

    One additonal very impotant thing: Don't climb on wet sandstone!
    After rainfall, take a break of at least 2 dasy to let the rock dry out. Sandstone is very fragile when wet, even when it looks like it dried from the outside

    Good tips!
    Start easy is definatly a good one, especialy for people who (mostly) climb indoor (like me).
    Most important tip clean shoes, respect the rocks, its sad how some of the boulders have been polished.
    Heading for Fontainebleau in two days, yeaaaaahaaaa.

    Some spots are badly affected by erosion. Sandy soil is very fragile. Stay on the tracks, avoid further digging the sand...

      👍 yep, keeping the forest free from as much unnecessary erosion as possible :)

    I find it kind of sad that people need guides to climb natural rock. Maybe we should label trees as well?

      There's history behing it, those circuits have been created by alpine climbers. Original circuits were supposed to mimic a mountain route, you were supposed to follow the circuit from start to end without touching the ground jumping from boulder to boulder following the numbers... more circuits have been created not following that spirit, the essence of the original circuits forgotten... by the way there's signs on the trees as well, it's called trails 😂
