Difficile de résister à l'appel des grands murs du Yosemite et de ses voies mythiques dont les noms résonnent dans nos têtes…
Afin
de se mettre dans le bain en douceur et de ne pas brutaliser un genou
quasi tout neuf, nous avons choisi, dans un premier temps, de faire des
voies "à la journée", avec des sacs d'un poids, disons, "raisonnable".
Des Red Rocks au Big Stone June 15, 2009
Red Rocks... May 24, 2009
There are some climbing areas that I have always enjoyed and where I will always return with lots of pleasure.
The Red Rocks are one of those places. I love the sandstone there and the feeling of being in the middle of such a massive rock formation colored in red, purple and beige...
Red rocks is a great place for moderate climbs, bouldering and long multipitch trad climbing route.
That was an ideal place for me to start climbing again outside.
The Trophy Wall a nice steep place to get back your power and endurance
The Red Rocks chapter of my trip ended with the Miami Vice party. Gunnar, a friend of ours, celebrated his Birthday in this huge mansion in Las Vegas. Most of the people were climbers, skydivers or base jumpers, and were all dressed in 80's 'Miami Vice' costumes. The 2 days we spen in the mansion felt like a little time warp ;-

From surgery to climbing February 28, 2009
It's already been two months since I had my knee surgery…
After some
good physiotherapy near my home in Bourg St Maurice, I came to a
special rehabilitation center for sports athletes in Capbreton, on the
west coast of France.
At the moment that I write this post, I'm still here, chilling on my balcony in the sun, facing the Ocean.
But, despite how it sounds, it's not all holidays here…
ski and... injury December 18, 2008
Skiing is another activity I really enjoy...
Like all the kids from here, I ski since I'm 2 years old. I'm not an amazing skior but I love it. A skiing day with your friends in the powder is always a great day, bringing smile on the faces, laugh and good feelings...

We've left all of the heavy trad climbing gear for a few days and went to discover others climbing areas around here.
Ready for new adventures ? August 16, 2008
With zero knowledge of crack climbing, aid climbing or big wall climbing, we are heading for a Yosemite experience. It is going to be fun, new, hard, painfull sometimes and emotionally intense.
