For your first time and at the level 7a, any guidebook that has decent directions to the sectors will be fine, for example, Fontainebleau Climbs.

I've been there many times, and still almost never use a guidebook except for finding the parking and blocs. Most of the time, you can just wander around the sectors and find amazing things to climb at just about any level. It's also more fun (for me) to climb without knowing the grades.

I spent my first day in font being annoyed at climbing much below the level i thought i was. From day two onwards, we shifted to a child like happiness roaming around, climbing whatever looked fun (including some trees), getting freaked out on top outs, scraping our knees and elbows, and never wanting to leave. Best advise is ignore grades. Takes crash pads, towels to clean your shoes, lots of food and water, and definitely a guide book (i have this one and it was helpful https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fontainebleau-Climbs-Finest-Bouldering-Circuits/dp/1594857709/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1526124649&sr=8-4&keywords=fontainebleau+bouldering).
Edit: plus make a good effort to warm up properly. Less easy to do than in a gym, but try not to ignore it

Warm weather beta for Fontainebleau?

Hi All, I'm super excited to have the chance to go to font for a few days next week. I've never been before and have been told "everything's great" whenever I ask which bits to go and see, which is really exciting but also super daunting because there's far too much stuff to be covered by one guidebook. I have this: https://smile.amazon.com/Fontainebleau-Climbs-Finest-Bouldering-Circuits/dp/1594857709?sa-no-redirect=1 but even just looking in there there's literally no way to choose!

Does anyone have any recommendations for: a) places which are particularly well-shaded (it's going to be ridiculously hot) b) specific climbs in the low-mid 6s which you just don't think anyone should miss? c) Specific circuits which tend to be shady and interesting (and probably don't go above 6c)

I'm really exciting and sure I'm going to have a great time regardless, and I have no expectations about breaking into new grades given the weather, but any recommendations just for "somewhere to start" would be hugely appreciated! Thank you!
