Jules Marchaland does Foundations Edge (8C)

Jules Marchaland, who was 26th in both his Lead WC’s last month, has had an amazing day in Fionnay doing Compass North (8B+), Foundations Edge (8C) and another three 8A’s including a flash of Permanent Midnight (8A+).

Can you tell us more about the amazing day and your new bouldering focus?
My lead world cup season is done. French team choose to focus on Young climbers. And that’s cool, I can go bouldering and accept to loose some endurance 😅. After some Times in Ceuse for the Classic BIO I moved to Fionnay with Simon [Lorenzi].

First day I send « scarred for life » after a really close flash go and decided to go on foundation just after. I completely miss the flash on it and then had some promising goes but not enought to finish it the first day after a really long and hard sesh.

Second sesh I was destroy but really psyched. We warm up around permanent and climb a good 8A (essai transformé). Then I had a good flash on permanent midnight and send it. After that, we moved to the cave. I flashed off the system (8A) for finish the warm up. Check a new beta in foundation and send it in the first try. Then I had to give my flash on compass North and fell the hand in the last jug 🤡. Send it the try after and the send is done 😅

What is next?
Next proj is probably Permanent midnight low (8C+). The new Clement rig. And maybe also fuck the systeme. And just chilling in swizzy is in the plan.
