Fontainebleau Fun Bloc is a new photo topo style guidebook to the
very best areas of the forest. This is a unique style that includes
over 1600 photo topos, which makes recognising the problems very
easy, and includes every single problem in an area 1a-8c. This book
will appeal to every level of climber, and particularly groups of
boulderers that are of mixed ability who all want to climb in the
same general area. It has also been designed to work with little
use of language, since all of the problems are colour coded and are
very easily identifiable. With over 7000 problems, this will give
anyone a huge amount of fun. There is a large overview map on the
inside front cover. Each area has its own approach map that is very
easy to use, and shows best routes for buggies or those carrying
giant crash pads. They also link together so you can easily go from
one outcrop to another. Outcrop maps are highly detailed showing
the outline of every boulder precisely. Every single boulder has
been perfectly mapped for this book, and this level of detail is
totally unique. The design of Fun Bloc is simple. Every area has a
very detailed layout map with all boulders perfectly drawn, and
every single problem marked with a coloured dot. All boulders
highlighted in green feature as full photo topos with lines marked,
grades, and names of problems. The photography for this book has
taken several years to capture all of the boulders in the best
possible illustrative light. The graphics show all of the
variations and even illustrate which holds are in or out. The book
has also been edited by local climbers who regularly climb up to
8c. This book is the full beta of the forest by climbers who know
it inside out. 26 principal areas are covered in 100% detail,
featuring every possible climbing problem from 1a up to 8c. 17
individual children's circuits are fully illustrated bloc to bloc.
48 outcrop maps illustrate the exact location of over 7000 boulder
problems - all colour coded and graded. Over 100 Fontainebleau
circuits are fully covered in the book. Details for all local
campsites and supermarkets are included. There are over 80 superb
action photos which feature throughout the book to give it a very
enticing feel. This book is dual language - in both French and
English.
