Memories of Fontainebleau

Another video of Fontainebleau. I think this is the best shot video of all that I've seen. There are many classic problems, shots of climbers cooking their meals in the gite, travelling to Paris during their rest day, playing cards in between attempts.

But more importantly, the areas featured are those that I visited during my Eurotrip with Edwin, Yixiang and Peining. The first problem you see, La Marie Rose, oh god.....a 6A which spanked the hell out of Edwin and me (hey the heat was scorching then). And the second problem, Eclipse 7C, one which I had about 30-45 minutes to fail on (I'll be back to send it). And Cul de Chien, the desert you see, is a mystical place. Where do you find a pristine white desert in the middle of a temperate forest? You gotta go there someday.
