I will invide you to go and have a look on all the new pictures, gallerys, articles and enjoy the new and much more open outfit!
But not only my page got a new outfit, also my climbing projects were changing a lot their style. After my send of the really steep and physical 8b+ on ‘la Saumme’ I was super psyched to finish my last open project of this year, the ‘spécialistes’.
The spécialistes is situaded in the really beginning of the gorges of Verdon and I’ve had already the chance to climb on this route with Jonathan Sigrist while our Arcteryx trip this spring.
This unique route is placed in a 45 degree overhanging wall and the climbing style is juste awesome! Unfortunalety every hold in the route is really sharp and after two runs, you’re out of skin and you got bad and bloody holds everywhere…
I was there for a little week with Mike Fuselier because he wanted to try the new version of ‘les spé direct, 8c+’. Mike is my really best friend and it’s fantastic to travel together with him because he’s always kidding, we are laughing all the time.
First day I was super close to send but the days after, it was getting really hot and our ‘taped’ fingers were slippering on every hold! Even my climb-on cream was useless…
Here’s a little video of my ‘almost’ send…I have to go back with a good skin and probably with a stronger bizeps…
After 4 days we gave up and we decided to join two friends of us, Gerome Pouvreau and Florence Pinet for a boulder session in the beautiful forest of Annot.
I really appreciaded these two days because it was the first time since two years I was bouldering outside and the landscape, the problems and the cool ambiance was the perfect challenge I needed after trying so hard the spécialistes….Enjoy the nice pictures from Mike Fuselier and a big thank’s to Gerome and Flo for the privet Annot local guide tour!;-)
And in the end I would like to tell you a fantastic news:
I’m officially in the Scarpa team since one month. I’m really proud to be part of the New Rock family in Switzerland because we have the same imagination about what climbing should be and we are folloing the same ideas. At this place I would also like to say a big thank you to Five Ten for their support for the last three years.
