Niccolò Ceria - 60 % of 8B and harder in Font the last two months

Niccolo Ceria has spent two months in Fontainebleau where he did 12 boulders 8B and harder. These actually stand for almost 60% of all the recorded ascents for that grade in Font since mid February. This could be another indication that the grades in Font are harder compared to other popular crags. © Neil Hart - Narcotic Direct 8B "Fontainebleau is always Fontainebleau. It is unique for me. The rock makes wonderful holds and it is one of the few place where you can really learn to climb and not only pull hard. I really love it and since many years I wanted to make a long trip here. I am here since middle February... Then I will go back to Italy for cleaning and climbing some projects close to my home and the I should go to Grampians in May. I didn't climb so many old classic ones. Many times I prefer to climb the new ones, since the rock is less polished and the grany is much better. There are many problems that are eluding me like Toupie Carnivore assis, Delire Onorique, Amok and many other ones. I am not able to understand some body position on those and I hope to come back soon to attempt them again."
