"Marie Rose is a boulder problem in Bas Cuvier, the most popular area in Fontainebleau. Cuvier has been a forcing ground for bouldering standards through the middle of the last century, it’s home to the first 5+, 6a and 7a, 7b,7c and 8a climbed in Font. Marie Rose was the first 6a, climbed in 1946 by René Ferlet.

It’s a steep slab, about twelve feet high with a good flat landing. Situated in an open area not far from the carpark and surrounded by lots of other classic moderate problems, it’s a very popular problem and the level of polish on the holds reflects this

Could Marie Rose be the trickest problem in the world? I’ve done it a few times and it still feels pretty hard to me. I’ve seen good climbers struggle on it, especially in bad conditions. If you sit on the flat rock just in front of it on a busy afternoon you can watch climbers of every nationality fail on it.
