Clothilde Morin does Partage (8A+)

Clothilde Morin, with eight 8A’s to her name, has sent Partage (8A+) in Fontainebleau. The 25-year-old finished her IFSC comp career being number five in a European Cup in 2023.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I’m really happy to have sent Partage on December 31st to finish 2025 on a high note. One of Fontainebleau’s iconic highballs, located in Buthiers, impossible to miss from the road with its 6+ meter height.

It took just over one session to get it done. By the end of the first session, spent dialing in the beta, I was already falling on the last move to the big jug. Running low on energy, I decided to come back the next day. As hoped, I sent it first try of the session.

How was it falling from so high up?
And falling from the last good hold isn’t that sketchy since the fall is super vertical, and with three solid pads you’re pretty safe. However, there are still two moves to go. They’re way easier than the crux, but you have to fully commit on hands and feet on pretty flat footholds. I’ve never fallen from up there, but if you do, you’ll definitely feel that one.
