Description

Éléphant NORD
Just a huge amount of high class high quality problems. Most of the problems are high with good landings. The concentration of hard high boulders in a very small area might be the highest in Fontainebleau. Rock quality is mostly top notch, but some of the lower boulders seem to leak water forever. Please respect that, and don't climb boulders with wet holds. The rock quality is soft around Éléphant.

Some mega classics around:
Tostaky 8A+/B
Matador 7A+
Tour de Garde 7A
Sans Papier 7C
Dracool 7B
Maldove 7A
Timing 7C
Mirabol 7C+
JCVD 7C

just to mention a few. The area is mostly shady and cool when the other side of the hill is sunny and hot. Also very quiet area compared to the main area. There are some boulders without names and knowledge what they are. The area used to feature an red circuit but it's forgotten. Still many of the old reds are possible still to climb.

Éléphant Nord

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.

Park on either parking marked. The areas around elephant are old softer sandstone so please let them dry a few days after heavy rain!
The approach is short, around 5-6 minutes following the tracks.
