Apremont


Still seeking the drier areas, we headed out to Apremont. Seems like the road is permanently closed, but the short hike from Barbizon is a good warm up.

We all have projects we return to in Fontainebleau, mine is La Balance, and one of Nora's is Clin d'Oeil. The difference between the two is that Nora is making progress.

Apremont has a plethora of good slabs; Lamentations and Science Friction are always enjoyable.

I was originally going to try out the sky-blue circuit, but after struggling with the text in my French guidebook, I realized that the circuit was described as an "anthology of cracks". Needless to say, I skipped it, but we did try a few on the circuit, including this wacky chimney.
