Dmitry Solnyshkov doing a free on-sight solo at Big Rocks. The route is about 5a (French). The Big Rocks are near St. Petersburg, it's probably the most well-known climbing area in this region. If you come here in May, don't miss the festival "Climbing for everybody".

Casamur is an indoor gym in Clermont-Ferrand, which I enjoyed for 2 months. There are plenty bouldering problems and a long ceiling, on which I am hanging. Nice place!
