Recommend me some 7a's or b's please. I prefer crimpy stuff to slopers and vertical to slightly overhanging suits me better than super steep rooves.

Le Coeur - 7a Elephant

[SA Chris]

http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4415.0.html Some good info here as a starter for 10.

[Fultonius]

Sa Pelle Au Logis is a good, crimpy non-polished 7A in Gorge aux Chats.

(Probably flashable) - check out some videos on Bleau.info to see where it goes - not entirely obvious at first. I got it 3rd go and I've only done about 5 7As and 7A+ in the forest.

While you're there have a bash at La Pare Dessus 7A+...Juggy ovenhanging roof into horrific Font rockover slab finish. Just what you asked for  

[a dense loner]

just to play devil's advocate

sa pelle has not got a single crimp on it, but is good if you don't mind the boulder you can sit on half way though

la pere finishes to the left ie the vertical bit, not up the slab

[Jaspersharpe]

la pere finishes to the left ie the vertical bit, not up the slab

Bleau.info says either finish is allowable but that the slab one is "slightly easier". It even has videos of both versions so that still looks like a tick to me.

You Dense!? 

[dave]

sa pelle is ok, nice moves, interesting elongated pocket/slots but a bit "local", i.e. starts in a hole and like dense says then gets very close to the ground. i flashed it but had some mates not already been on it with mats and worked it all out I probably wouldn't have bothered. not classic font by any means.

if you like comfy crimps, albeit sidepulls, try footrix at cuisiniere.

[monkey boy]

el possah, el possif at isatis are both sweet.

orgasme cosmique at mare a piat is good also.

La baliene at petit bois

Nemisis and masters edge at buthiers.

Apologies for the bad spellings!

[Jaspersharpe]

I haven't done this problem and in fact haven't even seen it in the flesh but it looks rather good and would appear to fit the bill........

http://bleau.info/zinnen/9681.html

This has been highly recommended and is on my list (along with the sitter which apparently doesn't add that much)..........

http://bleau.info/cassepotgrises/161.html

As lagers says Le Cœur is very good and also sounds like your type of thing.....

good problems they are, but not particularly suited to what the guy is asking for. if he rolls up at these expecting "crimpy stuff " on "vertical to slightly overhanging" rock then he'd be in for a shock.

[a dense loner]

you're right jasper the sitter to double axel adds absolutely nothing, if you're not small. think it would be hard then.

la pere is another case of bleau.inf to the rescue, it originally finished left but after seeing the masses rocking up they probably changed it. still good

ps monkey boy could you stop always recommending things that you like and maybe try to recommend something that someone has asked for. always keep your housekeys on you people

What, you're saying you didn't crimp all those pockets and slopers? 

I maybe just have a high opinion of it because I did it quickly.


And about La Paer Dessus - we finished up the slab and didn't realise till we got back that the original went up the arete.

Edit, okay, this was already pointed out, even so...

[Jaspersharpe]

This always happens. When I asked for non steep, crimpy 7B+/7C's The Sausage poo-pooed the idea of Rubis and recommended L'Abbe Resina because he liked it. Needless to say I ignored him.

This thread's inspired me to start updating my list properly.

[Duma]

Jasper's picks are good, but note in the pic of Nostalgie Assis he's doing the harder direct eliminate.

at 95.2 should fit your bill.
Or at Cusiniere:

That looks ace, love the look of the gaston/match move. I bet the footholds are wank as an early teen's sex-life tho.

It is an amazing problem, better for the short person I would say too because you can't just reach through.  And the footholds are pretty good, just in slightly awkward places.

[Drew]

A little out of the grade range, but a classic of the Forest: Rubis sur l'Ongle

[Jaspersharpe]

Too right. Except don't do it by the fucked up sequence the guy in the main video uses or you'll:

a) make it really hard and

b) only get a 7A tick for using the arete

The footholds are small but by font standards not that bad. A very nice problem.

Another vid here - but what's this, a peak lime crimp-artiste jumping past the crimpy starting moves? Shock horror! 

[Jaspersharpe]

Some more that look good:

This was recommended to me. Super crimpy....

http://bleau.info/y/663.html

This just looks ace....

http://bleau.info/tennis/674.html

Awesome big crimpy looking crack/wall thing next to Partage.....

http://bleau.info/y/656.html

Oh and if we're going to include the odd 7B+ then this....

http://bleau.info/isatis/577.html

.....must be included. But watch out, it's fucking sharp. On my list to go back and finish.

[Jaspersharpe]

Aaaaahhhh!!!!! Caaaan't stoooppppp!!!!

Just watched both videos, and all I could think was "poor little Christophe, he's so small!". I also thought that last time I went to Font, was the first time I didn't see him. He's always there, and always crushing everything.

[Duma]

Strappal is nasty sharp (not nice sharp, like lamentations), Le Pilar Legendiere is (apparently) well morpho, and Iceberg Raccourci is nice but slopers.
More good things at Cusiniere:
Haute Tension
Soiree Bresilienne

Oh and Grande Allonge is an eliminate slab.
