8A+ (B) by Caroline Sinno in Font

Caroline Sinno, who did her first 8B in Fontainebleau this spring, has done her long time project La cicatrice de l'ohm 8B+ (B). Here is her progress report from last October and her success comments. "My biggest fight in Font, it was more of a mental thing in the end. Very very pleased to have put a lot of dedication, training and hard work into this! It was nice to rediscover a forgotten line that wasn't climbed since it was opened roughly 10 years ago. It was put up at 8b/+ trav grade by Arnaud Ceintre but I did the natural exit of the line which makes it a real boulder problem around 8A+/B I think. Otherwise if you are willing to try it please be respectful of nature and brush your tick marks!! I found the line pasted with chalk. I don't want it to become like les beaux quartiers."
