Beauvais Roches Noires is a smaller sector between a cluster of boulder areas in the north forest of Fontainebleau.
Boulders range from easy orange circuit problems to a blue circuit, a red circuit and it also includes some single boulder problems (ranging from 4 to 7b/+).
The area is made of solid sandstone boulders and a variety of styles can be found.
All boulders follow the same path and can be connected one after another.
📝 Information about naming:
The boulders are usually marked by the hardest circuit problem (for example Red20 or R20), followed by the second hardest (B20 = Blue20) and lest hardest (O20 = Orange20).
Single or important lines, will be marked by a short version of the line.
