I think we found SpiderWoman!

Thanks for that.
One time in the late 1970s, on a family trip back/through France, we stopped at a rest stop/picnic area, and witnessed dozens of people in climbing footwear, chalk, and gloves, climbing spectacularly tiny boulders in exquisite concentration and reverence. Now I know where that was.

I've always failed to see the point
in hanging off a rock when you would be higher if you got off and stood up.

Er, practicing safely before trying actual cliffs perhaps.

Same as kicking a fucking ball round a field
Sport innit.
And Fontainebleau is an awesome place to do it. Really nice peaceful forest with more and better bouldering packed into it than just about anywhere in the world.

To be honest
I also fail to see the point in kicking a fucking ball around a field.
The area looks amazing though, would be nice to just wander about there.

It really is
I mean, it's properly fucking idyllic, as long as you stay away from the bits close to the lay-bys where the whore vans park up. But even then you stop seeing Rhyl jellyfish once you're a bit away from the car park.
And all you need is a pad and a pair of climbing shoes so it couldn't be more accessible. Or a mountain bike. Or a horse. Or just walking boots. Whatever you're into.
Spent a lot of good times there but not been since the beforetimes. Itching to get back tbh.
bleau.info/ is the definitive guide.
That ball chasing shit though, never really followed that.
