Bouldering & Vanlife in Fontainebleau

Two words I had to say, they don't mean nothing to you, what the hell, I'm on my way. There isn't nothing better, all we had to do was touch. That was the best dance I could've ever been on the rough. All day long we looked to fall, looked into the sun to find a way to get along. To be waiting for you in the day on the day. There is lights between us looking over all the way. All those who say they're wrong, they don't mean nothing to you, all we had to do was touch. And there's no nothing better in the day on the day. I've been reaching for you nights between us all the way. Hey guys, I'm in Fontainebleau in France at the moment, me and Harvey who is here. Hello. We are driving to the Alps, we're driving to Chamonix and we're making a couple of stops on route. So we're in Fontainebleau for less than 24 hours. If you don't know, Font is an amazing bouldering spot. It's in a forest and it's just south of Paris. So it's about 5.30pm in the evening now. So we're going to get a little evening boulder session in. We're both super excited because we've been really busy working on the van for the last week. Well, mostly Harvey has. And it was a bit of a long drive so we're really looking forward to stretching out our muscles and doing a bit of climbing. It's the perfect stop off though, isn't it? Like on the way to the Alps, it's just half way in France. Yeah, it's so peaceful here and it smells amazing and it's just so relaxing, so nice. Yeah, we haven't even tried the climbing yet but I'm sure the climbing is amazing. So yeah, we'll show you what it's like. Definitely got used to the rock facts. All of a sudden this is like... Yeah, show us the guidebook Harvey. No, the front of it. So we got this guidebook which is a really nice book but we can't figure it out. The maps are really confusing, aren't they? A little, yeah. There's definitely climbing here. This is a little bit confusing, isn't it? Yeah, just a little bit. All the words I said were wrong They don't mean nothing to you All we had to do was touch And there's no nothing better What the hell, I'm pitiful now Think of waiting for you Waste away some final time It's all by your side You got it, took too long You get it You got it, took too long You get it You got it, took too long You get it You got it, took too long You get it You got it, took too long You get it You got it, took too long You get it You got it, took too long You get it You got it, took too long You get it so we eventually gave up on trying to figure out the guidebook it's really really confusing we bought a guidebook which is just which just has fives and sixes font fives and sixes that's the grade yeah we just couldn't find figure out where we were so we ended up just climbing a bunch of stuff which is really fun to get get our bodies moving feel a little bit of pump and nothing too difficult just some fun climbs so we're gonna go to a different area now for another hour it's about eight o'clock do another hour and then go make dinner somewhere Good morning again from Fontainebleau. We are back walking out the bouldering area to one of the bouldering areas. The one that we are going to is Apremont West which we went to the last, which is the last one we went to yesterday evening. It's been raining a bit this morning. We woke up to her rain, but it's also sunny at the same time. So we're hoping the rock is going to be dry and we can get a little boulder session in. We don't have a lot of time because we are heading south today and need to leave about 12, one o'clock ish. So we should get an hour, an hour and a half in, which should be enough time to have a little play around. So hopefully the rock is dry and hopefully we can have a good session. Feels pretty dry. So we are going to start on this problem, number 12, which is a 5 plus and it goes from the right over and tops out there. It's pretty powerful, we had a go at it yesterday, Harvey almost did it, I didn't. But we'll try again today and see how it goes. Warm my hands up a bit more. Woo, he did it. This is what bouldering is actually really about. Yeah.
