Exploring New Sector in Crag That Changed Climbing Forever
Created by: Adam Ondra2024/09/16
It was very nice to revisit Buoux in the South of France again after so many years! This legendary, classic crag from the 80's changed climbing itself forever and was a dream to be here for every single sport climber in the world back then (including my parents). One of the first 8a or 8b was established here and I have one pleasant memory from this place, onsighting route Chouca 8a+ in 2005 when I was 12.
Nowadays, we are slowly exploring a relatively new sector, completely opposite of the "old Buoux," where some projects were waiting for my onsight try. So take a look at the latest video on my YouTube channel, enjoy the routes Le Brillant Saoul 8c and Finement Con 8b+ and let me know in the comments how you like them.
PS: Some projects and routes still remain in the new sector and even in the classic part of Buoux. So I will be back!
