1. Arete de Zmutt, Chamarande (
http://bleau.info/chamarande/6958.html) - Easy climbing up to a good hold, then a committing highish slap for the lip of the overhang. Match, cut loose, heelhook the top and mantle out. Brilliant problem at one of Fonts less frequented venues.
2. Sneak by Night, Glen Lednock - Beautiful rounded arete, pretty tricky to figure out the moves. Perfect winter morning all on my tod at a new venue. Worked it for much longer than I would normally spend on a problem and was rewarded by unlocking the sequence and a power scream topout
3. Extended Crucifix Traverse (Low), Kyloe In - Butch start jamming under an overhang to reach a strange wall with razor crimps and tiny flutings. Technical moves all the way along to a sneaky insecure rest using an egpytian. Crux moves at the end (staying low) spat me off a few times until I found the rest, then success. A full afternoons work.
I don't really session things at all, got the concentration span of a 2 yr old with ADHD. Personally, it says a lot that all these problems made me take the time to work them without ever feeling that was exactly what I was doing
I've also no idea how Science Friction and Le Hareng Saur fail to make my top 3, they were 1 & 2 for a good while
and genuine laugh out lolrofpms material.
