Fontainebleau forest – one of the world’s most iconic bouldering destinations – is under threat from oil drilling and needs your help.⁠ ⁠ This UNESCO site is home to forests, wetlands, heathlands, pristine rivers rich with fish, and over 100 years of climbing heritage. ⁠ ⁠ Now its future is at risk due to a proposed oil exploration project that will drill 10 new oil wells close to the forest. Aside from the environmental risks of pipeline leaks and ruptures, which could threaten the drinking water of 300,000 people, the extraction would also lead to toxic gas emissions and pollution.⁠ ⁠ “The area around Fontainebleau forest is an enclave of wildlife and rural living. It seems surreal that this mindless development - without any merit beyond financial gain for a small, but greedy, fossil fuel company - can threaten its future. This is the moment when the global climbing community can step up and do something good, not only for climbers, but for all the people who will be negatively affected, and for Fontainebleau itself,” says Zofia Reych (@upthatrock), climber and Fontainebleau local.⁠ ⁠ Take action and support local group @nonauxforages who are fighting the drilling by signing the petition.

In August, Nico Favresse and Seb Berthe embarked on a 500 kilometer bike-powered journey to tackle a trio of alpine classics - End of Silence 8b+ at Feuerhorn, Des Kaisers neue Kleider 8b+ at Wilder Kaiser and Silbergeier 8b+ at Ratikon. And they brought their dogs. “This Dog and Bike climbing trip was an eye opener to how cool an adventure can be, even close to home, when you reduce your carbon footprint. In the last few years I’ve taken too many planes in order to visit some of the wildest places on earth. With the threat of a climate crisis and the urgent need to reduce our footprint on this planet, I haven’t been feeling too good about it. [This trip was] about finding the creativity to reinvent the way we do things.” – Nico Favresse @nicofavresse on the newly minted Dog and Bike Zero CO2 Alpine Trilogy with @sebertheclimber and photographer @damienlargeron

In conservation, you have to be prepared to lose more than you win. But occasionally, you score a big victory.⁠ ⁠ The untamed and meandering Vjosa is one of Europe’s last wild, living rivers. Thanks to the untiring work of groups such as @BlueHeartRivers, @EuronaturOrg, RiverWatch, @EcoAlbania and supported by @ClientEarth_, its future now looks more secure. ⁠ ⁠ Albanian President Ilir Meta and Prime Minister Edi Rama have given their support to the establishment of a Vjosa National Park. It was also announced this week that the Minister for Environment has rejected the construction of the Kalivaç dam, which would have destroyed this unique river system forever. #savetheblueheartofeurope

“Silence is one of the hardest sport climbs in the world. At the end of the crux sequence, the route takes you through a crack. Cracks are something I enjoy and after seeing Adam Ondra place a toe jam in it on the first ascent I couldn't help myself but go and have a look at what this jam and crack section was all about. I had no intention of climbing any sequences before the crack and zero ambition to pull any moves after the crux, but I was interested to see if it was possible to use a pure sequence of hand, foot and finger jams in this short section of difficult climbing. It's always nice to see if you can find a sneaky jam somewhere.” - @petewhittaker01⁠ ⁠ Watch the full video of Pete on Silence through the link in bio.
