25 Mar Le voyage de Zhong Kui 8C+ new traverse

Jean-Pierre Bouvier, born in 1957, better known as La Mouche, has succeeded in the round trip of  Le voyage de Zhong Kui  at Cuvier, Fontainebleau, and proposes the grade 8C + traverse
 
In  2004 he had invented the version  "one way" Le voyage of Zhong Kui (8B). In recent years, "La mouche" has opened in Bleau a large number of extreme traverses on 8C , not yet repeated.
 
Jean-Pierre Bouvier is a long lived French climber. To the younger climbers maybe his name name will not say much, but for those born in the sixties Bouvier was a myth, like Berhault or Edlinger.
 
In 1981 "La Mouche" opens Chimpanzodrome in Sassois, 7c +  into just 15 meters that at that time  was  with La Haine by  Berhault at La Turbie the hardest route of France. A few years later he repeated the route also in free solo
In 1994 he was still at the highest level with the first  redpoint ascent of Festin de pierre 8c + / 9a again in  Sassois. This just to fix two highlights  of his impressive curriculum…
