La Merveille | 8A+ Boulder problem at Cuvier Merveille


Translation: The Wonder.

The steep prow on Le Bloc aux Mille Visages was for many years a last great problem, before Marc Le Menestrel succeeded in 1999.

A right hand finish had previously been climbed by Philippe Le Denmat c.1998, rocking onto the slab at 8A.
