The Crux is starting out you start low on the Arete and work your right arm up the right side and the left arm up the left side. Crimpy moves lead to a side pull then from there its a huge fat sloper right in the middle of the arete about 7ft up. From here it gets easier but this is still the big part of the problem is solving how to balance just right to get up and around the sloper.

Hung Like A Horse

Classic! Hung Like A Horse is to the left of the Arete. You start with an easy sandstone like features. Then once you get balanced and standing you reach up and a little right with your right hand and then swinging out and around the overhang you match with your left. Now with your left hand on the sideways sloper you throw your right hand to the nasty side pull to the right. Airy-balance plays out here now as your hanging stretched out comes the hardest move taking the right hand which is in the side pull to the right you dyno a good 3-4ft to top out. The top out is a great hold. BALANCE AND TRUST.

This area has been around for ever. Some friends and I decided to clean it up for bouldering. When cleaning some of the rock for holds you'll notice that the moss has in some areas given this area stained green rocks. The area is named after fontainebleau, France the world class bouldering area. This area is a great area to work on some tough Palisades boulder climbs.
