Girard's Font trip with 7 boulders 8A to 8B+

"I planned to stay one week in Font during the autumn holiday but with the lockdown I could stay one week more. It was two awesome weeks with really good conditions; sunny, windy and cold weather and my sport dispensation made these outdoor sessions legal. The objective was to finish some classics and to try some hard boulders. During the first week I completed the first part of my objective with some classics like Ubik, La Merveille or Gourmandise (the short one). The second week was a success with 2 8B+ (Mécanique Elémentaire and Gecko sit). I did the first one in one session and the second one in 5 tries, one year after the stand start.
