Guillaume Mignard does The Big Island (8C)
Guillaume Mignard has completed The Big Island (8C) in Fontainebleau after projecting it for 15 sessions.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
The first session I understood most of the moves, that I worked on the next sessions. Each separate move felt pretty easy but putting them together was difficult It took me a lot of work to make it work from the start.
What is your climbing background?
I started climbing about 10 year ago and discovered outdoors 3 or 4 years ago. Been climbing almost only outdoor since then and training/spraywall when its raining ๐คท I'm a routesetter and have always lived and climbed aroud Fontainebleau.
