I’m on my second trip to Font right now, and this was a very nice guide to some of the (many) great boulders at Canche aux Merciers - thanks!

[@fishmate5443]

Nice problems, nice climbing, nice vid as always!

[@RoadRamble]

Thank you very much for following our bouldering flicks!

[@BerndThomasSchuller]

"What are we going to climb?" - "Classics!" - Really nice video(s). Bleau is the best.

[@RoadRamble]

Thank you! Yeah I don't think we've got the whole ' talking to the camera' game sorted yet 😁 Maybe with practise...

[@jpbleau5342]

classic but very cool lines! :)

[@RoadRamble]

Merci JP! We're enjoying your Bleau footage also! Keep up the hard work.

Did I actually just see the rock move at Le Nez around 2:12?

[@pucek365]

The message at the end is actually not very much mentioned in this section and really should've been.

Great video!! What time of year is this please? Is there an ‘ideal’ time to visit Font? Thanks

[@RoadRamble]

Hey Ben! Thank you 🙏, this was made in the middle of summer which some would argue is not the ideal time to visit as the friction on the rock is best during cold and dry weather conditions. That being said we always had a great time in the Forest during the summer months. As for an 'ideal' time, it depends on your preference and comfortability in certain weather/seasons. Late spring and mid-autumn is always popular, but unfortunately anytime now/soon would be irresponsible due to the pandemic restrictions. Good luck and stay safe in these times!

[@MF-CLIMB]

@@RoadRamble yeah I’m not going until this is over so was just seeing when’s the best months for good weather but not too hot. Cheers

[@tombould]

What’s the video shot with? Nice work btw

[@RoadRamble]

Thanks Tom! It was shot with an old Sony Xperia Z3 phone. We were very surprised with the outcome

[@tombould]

RoadRamble yeah that’s fantastic

[@RoadRamble]

@@tombould thank you 🙏

[@sil8127]

Am i the only one that goes over the top like a walrus?

[@RoadRamble]

...but no one does it as well as you! You're a true master of the bellyflop! 🙌 When do we get to play with you on the boulders again?

Danke Schatzi X

Why must so many climbing videos be ruined with terrible music.

[@feelmore1971]

It's not "Font", it's "Bleau"
