BEAST!

The drudgery of the comp circuit shines through to me in the video but there's no doubting that 7 hours a day training is hardcore and pays dividends.

where on earth is Peirrot Beach?

i'm guessing it's not a major climbing destination.

cheers Mick....just realised it's not actually a beach but a sector in Preles.

In my googling i found a good vid of M. Fusilier on a route there:

looking at the report on his website-if i understand it properley he also tried to O.S 2 8b+s and an 8c that day as well!?This seems another step in the direction of consolidating new levels of fitness onthe crags that the new breed of comp/sport climbers are establishing.What lies ahead i wonder?
