Here's a couple of pictures from my first visit to Font. It was 1988 (hence the shorts!!) and I was 27. Did the Orange circuit at Bas Cuvier. In the days before bouldering mats the card board is just to keep the sand off my rock boots. I had a pair of Calanques which were a cheap version of EBs here in the UK.

Hey Marlow what is the music between 3:00 and 7:00? I know you say in the credits it is Lil Quest but I can't find that track anywhere.

It's a great Finnish Font video that came drifting on the web. I believe Toni LilQuest is the music maker (and not Lil Quest): https://soundcloud.com/lilquest

Yeah Andy, I also did that orange circuit @ Bas Cuvier. I only had 3 days there but that one in particular is one of my most memorable days of climbing, pure fun factor. Thanks for the pics.

Hey Marlow I have some more of those papers (some in English) if you are interested. I am an Engineering Geologist by trade and have corresponded with Medard Thiry who is based at the Ecole des Mines de Paris. He has written several papers on the subject.

Andy: It would be great to get the articles in English and post them for others to read. Do you have the opportunity to post them?
