Leah Crane - Font 7c in Font

© Ben Pritchard

Sheffield based Leah Crane has topped off her recent trip to Fontainebleau with an ascent of Le Carnage assis (f7C) (Font 7c).

Leah's recent form has seen her climb Ben's Roof at Raven Tor (Font 7c+), quickly followed by the appealingly named Problem 2, also at Raven Tor (Font 7c), and then come 25th in the European Bouldering Championship in Paris.

During a month long trip to the forest of Fontainebleau with fellow British team climber MinaLeslie-Wujastyk, Leah accrued an impressive list of climbs, including numerous 7a's and b's, but her highlight near the end of the trip was climbing the sit start to the classic 7b+ problem Carnage; Carnage Assis, Font 7c.

I have been climbing for over twenty years ... I first 'touched rock' aged 3 and started to climb frequently from the age of 5. Dave Dicks was my first ever coach & I trained with him twice a week for around...

nice work...i take it "assis" means sit start?

I thought Carnage was now considered 7B and Assis 7B+?

http://bleau.info/cuvier/253.html I agree though that Carnage is a soft 7b+. Still ticked the 7b+ bit mind! I haven't ever tried the sit start, so have no idea.

Fair enough, I heard it had been chipped recently...but you know what font chipping rumours are like!

Carnage is good for folk who can crimp and campus.
