New “Hard” Black Circuit V5-V7 added 14th August 2009

A big range of Fontainebleau creations from Bleaustone. Mini jugs, crimps, mondo jugs, edges, pinches, pockets, slopers, specials and screw-ons.


Very interesting problem on the slab. Big footholds and no handholds traversing across to a big boss. Big rock over move to finish. Great Jonny Dawes style problem.


Powerful arête slapping on big slopers and crimps.  (James Gowdy Below)


Interesting problem in the cave might be a test for those shy on body tension. Requires good control to get to the second stage of the boulder problem. Then gets a little easier if you have any power left to finish.


In the tunnel area there is a good problem working in with two volumes. Hard to get this problem started with the awkward foot placements.
