Castor - Red TD 3, 4
Climbing has been limited!
Fontainebleau closed until July 20
Due to fire risk and dry forest conditions, ONF has closed all of Fontainebleau to the public until Monday, July 20, 6:00 AM. Parking lots and access roads are barrier-taped to keep them clear for emergency services.
Please stay out until the closure lifts — check back here for updates.
The forest is a sensitive area. So these rules apply everywhere (also outside Font).
* No littering
* No fires
* Brush the holds
* Do NOT climb when the rock is wet! It is very brittle when wet.
* Carry the pads, don't drag them (helps preventing erosion)
* Stay on the paths!
* Absolutely no bivouacing/camping!
Arpproach by car is by driving towards Larchant (from North) and then going to Rocher de Dame Jouanne.
The approach is between a couple of minutes (250 meters) and for the farthest problems (like Hibernatus) around 10-15 minutes (800 meters, but the rest is uphill).
There are literally hundreds of boulders and it takes a little time getting orientated.
Please note that the areas which are FENCED are OUT OF BOUNDS. In other words, access is denied, it's forbidden to climb on the boulders.
