'This new guide is big step forward in the sometimes-baffling climbing areas in the Forest and it's clear that this has been a huge undertaking for the authors, finally unleashing their secrets to the worldIt does the job of taking you 'off piste' from the circuits admirably and makes your head hurt when you start to try and take in the vast amount of blocs and boulder problems that have now been documented. However the final part of the guide's job will make your head hurt even more and, if you love exploring and opening problems of your own as much as I do, it makes you wonder how many there are still left out there to be claimed in the bouldering wonderland. All in all it's a great production from the much-respected players in the Forest and therefore it's a must-buy for all Font bouldering devotee' (Simon Jacques, UKClimbing.com). 'The second selected guidebook by the highly experienced Montchausse/Godoffe team to this famous French climbing area - Off Piste is a good companion to the Fontainebleau - Montchausse guide and the combination of these two guides would work well if you wish to try a mixture of both Off and On Piste problems.' (RockandRun.com). 'Well worth the money - an excellent guide.' (Matt Heason, Sheffield Adventure Film Festival).
