Charles Albert aka Mowgli boulders 8c + barefoot

Charles Albert announces the successful first ascent of 8c + Boulder La Révolutionnaire - barefoot!

Once again, Charles makes a super heavy comeback. In the sector Gros Sablons of the French bouldering area Fontainebleau he managed to extend the 8c-Boulder La Révolutionnaire. Charles, also called Mowgli, climbed this boulder in December of last year. Now he succeeded in the extended version that checks in at 8c +. As befits “Mowgli”, he climbed barefoot. If the grade is confirmed, it would be the hardest boulder in Fontainebleau and one of the toughest bouldering problems in the world.
