Awesome! There's a lot of gesturing and gallic shruggery going down there  :)

Bet there's been more than a few popped tendons at that place.

Looks a lot nicer than any Peak limestone - not that that's saying a lot.

And there was me thinking it looked pretty good (the monos, not the gum maggots). Am I the only person here that truly appreciates the limestone?

There's just not enough monos in the peak.

Av you noticed how the soundtrack doesnt quite fit in with the action or dress or attitude of said frenchmen.... Flashed is a canadian company so you get the impression its been shoe horned in, mind you the cats down at font with there cotton lycra and big jumpers tucked in are exactly G's from the ghetto

Easily the worst crag I have ever visited. The bouldering is rubbish, unusually for France they haven't even done a good job of chipping it. The majority of the problems are on manufactured pockets. Don't ever be tempted to visit cos its miles from any decent crags.

having watched it again with sound i see what you mean. i was expecting summert a bit more like the Allo Allo theme tune. And they don't seem to be down with typical "french footwork" very much.
