The first confirmed 9b in the world when Chris Sharma made the first ascent in 2008. Akira and Chilam Balam were both claimed at 9b before but Akira has settled at 9a following repeats and the it is believed that Chilam Balam was not actually climbed until later.

L'Abbé Résina Boulder problem 7C 4

The first 7C in the forest.

L’Abbé Résina is said to be the original name, however it appears in Jacky Godoffe's 1993 guide as just La Bérézina. A typical Bleausard word-play, La Bérézina in French is a synonym for complete disaster or catastrophic failure, referring to the disastrous retreat of Napoleon’s army from Russia, where huge losses occurred crossing the river Berezina – a name which continues the theme of the neighbouring Le Carnage (7B+). L’Abbé Résina meanwhile, translates roughly as 'The Abbot of Resin', no doubt referring to the 'pof' pine resin product widely used at the time to improve stickiness on Fontainebleau's slopey holds.
