Its the older generation if anything. But i've never experienced it or heard of it happening to friends on their trips.

At Bas Cuvier, I forgot - If you're a lanky git you should try L'Aerodynamite too.

And the Joker (which I hate but others love it!)

An you check out some of the newer areas that haven't been poffed to death yet, like Cuvier La Reconnaissance. Then you'll see what the rock looked like before the 'rosin' got slapped all over it. Theres a great problem there called Furer D'eole worth seeking out, plus enough for a days entertainment.

Also

At Petit Bois:

Big Jim
La Baleine

and Gargantoit Assis at Gorges Du Houx

And check ot the wall of dynos at Franchard Sablons (from 7a-8a) which features the enormously huge Rainbow Rocket (8a)

Heres another tip if you want your fingertips to last, but some of this:

Use very carefully and sparingly. When your tips are worn through to the pink this stops sweat moisture leaking through and kills the pain a bit. Just put on finger tips (do not get on joint creases) leave for an hour to dry, wash off and moisturise. The secret to many days on ;)
