Foundations Edge 8C by Clรฉment Lechaptois
Clรฉment Lechaptois has had a great month doing two 8B+'s in Colorado and his second 8C, Foundations Edge in Fionnay which was opened by Dave Graham in 2013.
"It's a huge overhang of perfect granite. The hard part consists of 10 intense movements on edges and delicate feet deplacements.
I started to try FE last fall and thought I was close to do it because I was able to do the hands moves pretty well but it was actually the feet moves that gave me the more troubles. I had a busy year at university so I couldn't come back there at that time. Just coming back in pretty good shape from Colorado, I needed two more sessions to climb this incredible boulder. Respect to Dave for the FA."
