Fontainebleau boulder report
15 year old Gabriele Moroni climbs Fb8b before settting off to Fontainebleau. Ascents also by Luca and Giulia Giammarco.
![]() An Italian Easter bouldering break to Fontainebleau resulted in numerous fast repeats, above all by the fifteen year-old Gabriele Moroni, who at the start of April sent his first Fb8b, La Creatura at Il Cubo. On the first day at Bas Cuvier Gabriele Moroni and Giulia Giammarco found just enough time to warm up before sending "Carnage" (Fb7b+). On the second day, beneath a slight drizzle at Rocher aux Sabot, the story repeated itself: quick warm-up, followed by "Sale Gosse" (Fb7c) for Moroni, Giulia and Luca Giammarco. Day three, sunshine at Isatis and the first signs of tiredness. But moral is high, as is "Alta". Gabriele Moroni, Giulia Giammarco, Geo Progulakis and their French Celine Combaz and Isabelle Bihr all got the better of this Fb7c. Before setting off home Gabriele Moroni found the strength to send Biceps Mou (Fb7b+) and the Fb7b arete left of Charcuterie. by Maurizio Puato
