Circuits: Yellow, Orange, Blue, Red. Latest update 2021.

Rocher aux Sabots is one of the most popular sectors in the area of Trois Pignons.

On weekends, this bouldering paradise turns into very popular pique-nique site when French families are going to have their walks around the path (= sentiers) around this area. There are also lots of running competitions, horse riding, mountain biking, so we as climbers are not alone. So let's behave around other people.

And as the sector is very popular, remember to leave absolutely no trails of your climbing. Leave no trash, brush away your chalk and tickmarks. Make sure that your shoes are clean of sand!

Worth mentioning are the two very nice circuits. Orange offers you 42 nice problems. Of which there are a couple of hair-rising slabs.

The blue circuit is also one of the very best circuits around the forest. There are even better - at least in my opinion - but climb this and the red circuit at Isatis and then message me, so I can point you to other very awesome circuits off the beaten path.

So what people usually climb? Le Tiroir, Le Jeu de Toit, Jet Set and Graviton. If you like to dyno, why not give Smash (7B) a try?. You can also try a couple of very nice slabs on the Tiroir-rock. Angle a Jean-Luc (6C, or 7A if you ask me), Impossible (7a+) and Ongle Jo (7B) should keep you entertained for a while :)

It's very popular for those who reside at camping Mousardiere, because the sectors are basically walking distance.

Roche aux Sabots

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!

Drive along D16 and park to the large parking.

The walk-in is around 5 minutes.

Please not that there are a lot of people (non climbers). Some people litter, so please be the responsible person and pick up other people's trash :)
