"Oui monsieur! Voila!" This apparently effortless send actually resulted in one of the hardest boulder problems in the world: No kpote only at Fontainebleau. Charles Albert clinched the deal in January 2019 in his usual style, ie barefoot and without a crashpad, and little matters that a few months later Japan’s Ryohei Kameyama suggested a downgrade from the full 9A to 8C+/9A.
