Essential Fontainebleau > Trois Pignons > 91.1
91.1 BLOC NOTES >>> 91.1 is another fine hill with boulders, located just opposite Cul du Chien - across the sands westwards. It has a number of fine slabs and walls, but few test pieces. The red circuit is well worth a visit. The area is elevated and sandy and dries quickly. For the giant ochre roof, it is worth taking a top-rope if you decide to do it! ACCESS >>> If you're at Cul de Chien, cross the sands westwards past Le Bilboquet to the top of the wooded hill. If you are parked at the Roche aux Sabots car-park, walk 500m along the Chemin de la Plaine de Jean des Vignes and turn right up the sandy track of the Chemin Roche aux Sabots. As this reaches a sandy clearing and a fork at the top of the hill, turn left across yellow sand and flat blocks into the woods and head uphill to the main boulders. CIRCUITS >>> There are two orange circuits here – the u (AD+ no. 2) circuit starts on the downhill, eastern side of the main area and has 47 problems and 5 variants. The u (AD no. 4) circuit starts on the west side at the first clearing on approach from the Chemin de la Plaine de Jean des Vignes. The u red (TD no.1) circuit has 34 super technical problems, many of them slabs and walls, including the must-do L’Arc de Cercle (12 bis). TEST PIECES >>> r A. Arc de Cercle r B. Le Grand Dièdre r C.
