New 9A boulder for Charles Albert
Charles Albert has made the first ascent of L'Ombre du Voyageur (The Traveler's Shadow), in Salève, Haute-Savoie, in the French Prealps. He has graded the boulder 9A.
Everything seems to be happening in Fontainebleau at the moment and especially at Apremont. Today, Charles Albert made the 4th ascent of L'Alchimiste (f8B+).
But that's not all. He did it by Marc LeMenestrel's original unrepeated left exit.
And that's still not all. He did it without shoes. Barefoot...
Charles suggests this version is around 8B+ in difficulty. This is a bit strange as the right, slightly easier, exit is currently considered ~8C.
Perhaps he has caught the attention of a shoe brand?
Here is a video with Charles.
