One Week Left

I have less than a week left to tick off the final boulders on my list. First on the list:

Obligatory Fontainebleau Sign Lever

Obligatory Fontainebleau Sign Lever

Surprisingly, I’m climbing at a pretty high level of consistency despite very little rest in 6 weeks. I wouldn’t even schedule a climbing day back in the states given the dire state my fingers are in, but I still find myself falling up classic boulders like Sale Gosse, Rubis sur l’Ongle, and Noir Desir on a daily basis. 

I’ve done more boulders on this trip than any 6 week period of my life, and it feels pretty damn good. In fact, I plan on simply repeating some of my favorites around Cuvier in the final days, and hoping to fall up a few more classics in the cool evening hours.

As far as satisfaction and accomplishment: I can feel the many years of success and happiness experienced by so many when I simply walk around the boulders of Fontainebleau. I think every send is shared with the forest, and every moment can be relived through a simple gust of wind..blah..blah..Plus I’ve got a list of some 300 completed boulders that all made me smile.
