Font recommendations 7a+/7b for shorties

[Steph]

Off to Fontainebleau in March (wahoo!!!!) and looking to hunt down some 7a+/7b problems.  I'm a bit of a midget at 5'4 so anything with too big a span (and big manly jumps) are out. 

Love roofy & straight-up stuff; think slabs are evil.  Seem to be a bit of a shortage of 7bs, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough?? 

Recommendations welcome...

[Richie Crouch]

Straight up stuff: Impasse Du Hasard (cuisiniere); Ratatouille (cuisiniere)
Roof: Beatle Juice (Cuisiniere); Jeu de Toit (Sabots); Zen (Sabots)

All decent problems I recall around the 7a/+ range and not dynamic (apart from the last move on ratatouille)

[a dense loner]

vandal left hand 7a+. 7b roof at apremont envers, next to 7c

[Paul B]

Impasse? are you kidding... I think the first move is nails if you're *cough* tiny.

[The Sausage]

Judging by what Vickie has done/tried (she's 5'4". I think)...

Bleau's art - La mervielle
Sitting Bull - Apremont (actually, might be crazy horse. The 7b one, photo in 7s & 8s 1st edition)
Holey Moley
Festin de Pierre
Graviton
Lapin et Canard (both the 7a & 7a+ versions)
She's been pretty close to surplomb des Coquilles
Beetlejuice has a very big move on it.

Also try The Joker, L'Abbatoir

Hope that helps

Yeah, I can't believe Crouch suggested this, its gotta be well harder for the short.  Or at least it's well easier for the tall.

[iain]

I was going to post something similar, although I'm not as short as Steph (sorry) bring on the recommendations, maybe up to 7b+ if I can climb anything like I do in my dreams, (or does that sound wrong ...)

Anyway, more please

i can believe ritchie suggested it, every suggestion he gives to someone is utter nonsense. What goes on in that head of yours crouch?

You know what Dense, I nearly said exactly that too.  Like when Crouch said "it doesn't matter what rockshoe you wear until you climb harder than 7c".  This from a man employed to sell rockshoes.

[Jim]

I'd love to see him do deliverance in boreals

Surely this is a question that no-one really wants to know the answer to.

[Paul B]

Carnage? The first move is a big one but I'd say its a matter of power more than lank. Leah did it and she can't be that tall?

[Jim]

yes but its not 7a+ or 7b

[nik at work]

I'd say Carnage is perhaps a bit harder for the short.
Sitting Bull is nails for the short or I'm missing something, Crazy Horse is a better suggestion.

Has anybody said Magic Bus yet? It still gets 7B+ I think but soft at it and fine for stumps (as long as you don't get sucked into a lanksters sequence)

[Paul B]

Fair enough, If you're strong though it could easily be on the cards as its basic for Font.

I did exactly that and it felt 8b.

[Paul B]

What about Lapin au Canard at Hautes Plaines, one of the exits is a touch harder I believe? Its a roof.

[a dense loner]

that was alrready one of sausage's recommendations paul
magic bus is not easy if you're normal, small is piss tall is piss, inbetween feels hideous

[Paul B]

Take it as a second then baldy. (its not raining here you see, in fact its quite sunny so I'm doing other things  )

Gargantoit? I don't see that in here. Excellent problem, a bit harder if you're short as your heel will be of less use earlier on. Again, a roof. Only 7a so maybe I need to find an extra plus.

Oliver Twist, Rocher Greau

La Baliene, Petit Bois

well here its shit shit fuckin shit. am off to meet fiend at mcd's shortly

[Johnny Brown]

Pensees Cachees
L'angle Parfait
Master Edge
El Poussif

[Paul B]

El Poussah (you can add an extra move if you're desperate for the 7b tick, I wouldn't bother).

[Jim]

L'angle Parfait
Master Edge
El Poussif

these are fucking nails!

[rodma]

Biceps Mou and Pince Mi are both fine if you're small and are conveniently next to one another.

[a dense loner]

rodma's on money there. our midget friend who's with us loves them probs, at cuvier. gotta like pinches tho
