Prehistoric Climbing
You have recognized, the Diplodocus, a site well known block of the massive Three Pine Forest of Fontainebleau .
To get there, having joined Milly-la-Foret, continue towards Noisy-sur-Ecole by D16 then go into voodoo. In the village take the first turning left to enter the car park of the Valley Mee. Parking up the road to Mee for about 1km, the blocks are on the left.
arrived at the site, you understand immediately what prompted the appointment of the spot block. In the middle of blocks, a spring unit of the lot by its size. Largely dominating all other blocks of several meters and with a shape reminiscent of a huge dinosaur. The aptly named Diplodocus! The site
block is not enormous compared with other sites in the forest. Recalling a little site "Cul de Chien" Fontainebleau, rather sunny and sand everywhere on the site makes climbing very pleasant.
3 routes overlap on this website: Yellow (PD), Orange (AD) and Blue (D). Fontainebleau is a mythical climbing site, you will find in any good guidebook Climbing magazine. Among the few blocks, I appreciated:
- Bloc Blue No. 2 (4b): A slab just dump that passes through a little hook on the side tallon left foot, which helps to catch a good grip above. The rest follows in the wake
- Blue Block No. 20 (4c): A very nice passage that begins with a first panel portion, and pour. The output is by a rise in tallon loudly for help in recovery.
- Block Orange No. 22 (3a), the crack Pres'toi : No free grip, the block itself to challenge the other if one truly wants to remain in the shaft of the arrow or favor one side over another.

Saint-Maximin Beach! New
OK! it will seem crazy, but I'm mad! This Sunday in February, has just arrived in Saint-Maximin. Having provided an outfit appropriate to the season, including: gloves, hat, warm underwear, sweaters and fleece. Anyway ... the worst case ... Ben said all we have been surprised! Indeed, quite the sun waiting for us! After several minutes of climbing on the rock of Larris ... It was almost all bare-chested! Not ... no kidding!
We spent the afternoon on the mide rinds sector " The Red Rock" from the old quarry, 12 feet high and a lot of ways that revolve around the 6c/7a. In the lot I would hold:
- "Mythical Larris " 6c +, starting pretty dicey to reach the small roof. Some physical recovery via a single-finger dug into the rock. Then take the trench vertically to reach the summit.
- "And no more ": 6c, after throwing himself headlong into it to be calm when first quickdraw. It was finally returned with a rope already in place ... it helps :-)
- "Bonni & Co": 7b, Made a little hard due to fatigue, it would be interresting to return. After the first two meters, while keeping the output is mono-bi-finger fingers. Cute ...
