Description

Cul de Chien
The area is one of a kind in Fontainebleau, the walk is about 15minutes and just before the area, you will be amazed of a sand sea. In the middle of the sea you have Le bilboquet. (It's totally forbidden to climb on this boulder.)

Cul de chien is a family friendly area with mostly good landings on sand. Most of the boulders are low.
There are also two roof boulders with some world known classic routes on them, like Le toit du cul de chien, which was freed in 1977 and is must do 7A for the stronger climbers. Also for more hardcore climbers there is l'Autre toit which has some very hard boulder problems up to 8B, most around 7C-8A.

Both the blue D- and the red TD+ circuit are completely redrawn in 2015 and are really good, the red has got some add-ons and is now 38 problems long. The blue circuit has a total of 46 problems, plus both circuits also has some B variants. We also added the entire orange AD- circuit which is 56 problems long and redrawn in 2014. This is a very beginner friendly circuit even if it's quite long.

This is a place to spend the entire day, either climbing or just chilling in the sand.

A true Fontainebleau experience!! Not all around good reception, good to download guide for offline use.
