Climbing has been limited!
The forests of Fontainebleau, Trois Pignons and Commanderie remain closed to the public until further notice. The entire forest remains very vulnerable to fire risk.
We urge everyone to act responsibly and to be patient: do not enter the forest, do not go to the burned areas, and ensure that access routes for emergency vehicles remain clear.
NEWS AUGUST 2022:
Due to erosion there have been movements on several boulders in the area. These areas have been closed. Please respect this!
NEWS OCTOBER 2018!!
The actual Èlèphant boulder, the first block you see when walking in to the area. The one looking like an elephant has a ban to climb on it right now. There is a risk that the entire boulder will collapse! Please do not climb on this one until further notice, it's dangerous!!
The rock at Éléphant is softer than in Fontainebleau usually. Please wait that it dries completely after the rain or you risk pulling holds off, or destroying the surface so the rock starts to "sand". It's recommended to let the rock dry for 48-72 hours after rain.
