Charles Albert Sends V15 in Rocklands Barefoot

Charles Albert is a well-known French boulderer who sends hared problems without any climbing shoes.

He recently ticked one of the world’s most classic V15s for the first barefoot ascent.

Albert climbed the 2002 Fred Nicole test-piece Monkey Wedding in Rocklands, which has seen a number of ascents of the past few seasons.

Albert has sent a number of hard problems barefoot, including Gecko Assis V14, the first ascent of La Révolutionnaire V15 and Le Pied a Coulisse V15.
