I climbed H1N1 at Dinas Rock, South Wales. It's a slightly harder variation of an existing 8a there called Bloody Sport Climbers. I was even more pleased as this was only the second ascent!
with an aim for a 7a in an hour that I've not done before!! might need some pointers.. flowing slaps up perfect scoops a speciality..
Fatdoc Surplomb de la Coquille at Hautes-Plaines might work for you?
so instead of doing one of the easiest (and very good) 7a's in the forest, you suggest trying the hardest (and shitest)?!?
The sitter to coquille however is very good with some nice holds and some good moves
unpleasant finger knackering holds, awkward body position, horrible polished footholds, just generally unpleasant.
And no I've not done it.

Took some inspiration from Mr Haston today and bagged my first french 8a at 33. YYFY.I now have 19 years to do 9a!
If you're going to do a soft-touch, you might as well do Corto Maltese. That way, once you've pissed it, you can do l'Helicoptre (possibly the best 7a in the Forest?). Then you can wander down the path and do Duroxmanie (certainly the best problem I've done in Font).Oh,and I thought The Joker was solid, but good fun. Proper physical, especially the top out.
Holy shit, Helecoptre and Duroxmanie were the best problems you did in Font? You need to get away from Cuvier.
Safer than 'helecoptre:
