Jour de Reve 7A
Plastikman  7A

First climb that came to mind was Coquille like many have suggested.

It's you're first trip, you should def try the classics that will be in every Font video you google, Graviton, Jet Set, Retour aux Sources, etc, etc. I reckon Alister is going to be fine with all those powerful boulders on slopers! Enjoy.

If you can get a copy of Essential Fontainebleau, it has the classics of every area, great for a first trip. There's a new edition but no idea how it compares to the old one, anyone who has the new one feel free to chime in.

Classic steep crimpy low grade 7, does have a weird angled slab landing which is a bit off putting but also means your spotters a stay quite close as you get higher. Needs a few pads and a few drop offs for confidence and is quite a stiff little number.
Have I sold it yet?
Its also proper satisfying cutting loose off toehooks and powering through and gradually easier the higher you get

[dave]

I may be misreading this thread entirely but I thought the OP was asking for safe low-mid 7s with crimps, not highball stuff with dodgy landings, monos, cracks, roofs, slopers.

[ferret]

I like small edges with reasonable sized moves between them
I like overhangs but not slabs, somewhere between 10 and 50 degrees
The harder moves should be at less than 3m (preferably near the ground) or I'll get scared
It should be hard for AlistairB

Don't know AlistairB but Fleur du Rhum ticks the rest of the boxes, despite the wierd landing theres no hard moves more than 3m off the ground Although the holds are maybe a bit incut to be called crimps...

[ferret]

Hell what do I know about crimps in Font anyway, I usually go there to avoid crimps.
Rubis sur L'Ongle and Carnage are probably the best examples, though Carnage only has 1 crimp really...

Isn't the hard move off that a big lock off a bottomless 2-finger jam?

[ferret]

No that moves not too bad. Its not really a jam, weird hold formed by 2 protrusions on opposite sides of the crack, strange hold feels more like a deep 2/3 finger pocket. The hard moves are moving off the incut after this and holding the swing then the next move going up left. Still not over but going  off the incut left sidepull to the big hold is easier.

There is the sitstart to a red problem in cuisinière that fits nicely. Near le bleurb, don't remember the name.

Also in isatis, mur cordier is a megaclassic although close to the slabby category. Remember to look at a video for beta, otherwise it might be desperate...

Also there, soirée bresilienne.

And one problem near the fil in aiguille.

Attention chef d'oeuvre would fit if It wasn't a bit high.

Fosse aux loups in 95.2

[benno]

Mouton a Six Pates is crimpy and just up the hill from Le Bleurb... bit hard, maybe? I thought it was 7B... Very good, though.
EDIT: Wrong grade and it's slopier than I remember, having looked at bleau.info

and you think we should stick to the origional topic?

got to be worth trying once, I suppose

[dave]

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it'll catch on.

Just waiting for someone to suggest a rainbow rocket, the mountain circuit, or Irreversible next.

[tim palmer]

It is also pretty high
Edit: 
Do you mean mur cordier at cuisiniere or mur de laminations at isatis?

[dave]

Think there's some confusion here, mur cordier isn't high, and it's not at Isatis either.

[nai]

Some definite crimping going on though, not too high, right angle. We have a contender.

[Johnny Brown]

I don't think it fits the bill - it's basically off-vertical technical laybacking, not 10 to 50 degrees overhanging, and the key hold isn't a crimp. I think pirate memory games, ages 5-7, are more popular in Switzerland.

All I can think of is that summat-de-prises thing at Canon.

[dave]

Strappal at Buthiers is probably worth a look too.

you mean this. Best to stop it before the next problem unless you want to see style you've only ever dreamed of.

[andyd]

Carnage at cuvier
Alta at isatis.
Both fingery with flat landings

Neither are mid to low though

[T_B]

La Memel at Isatis is pretty doable/non techy pulling from what I recall.

7b+ is surely mid, no?

 I like crimpy and powerful but I don't like Strappal and Carnage and I could only do Rubis once the sun went away. I think that crimpy problems in Font are generally quite tough and old school. Much easier ticks are steep and newish problems.

Amazing rock synth violin in this video

A bit pockety possibly
upper-lower-mid 7s
~30 degrees
basic as sin

[Richie Crouch]

Mur Lombard up the path from la coquille might be a good one?

+1

even though it is basically a one move wonder
