How did you start climbing?
I did a 3-pitch climb in Corsica with a rope tied around my waist when I was 6 years-old then I did some in middle school (13-14 years old).
What motivates you ?
In Competition
To give one’s best and raise the level of climbing beyond one’s capabilities. When I reach that level, I’m often on the podium. When the “Marseillaise” is being played, I get a feeling of great satisfaction and emotion.
In Rockclimbing
The pleasure of climbing and ascending.
In Bouldering
Being with a group of people, the movement, the feeling of the rock, the satisfaction and the freedom one gets when one exceeds expectations, which is so much a part of this discipline.
In Mountaineering
The landscapes, the wide open spaces, managing risk and effort…
How do you see this sport evolving ?
Climbing is getting more and more popular and that will naturally push these disciplines towards a higher level and the Olympics.
What is your best memory ?
Climbing with Dani Andrada the 300m route, “El viaje de los locos,” that he and I put up in Sardinia.
What is your worst moment ?
The frostbite I got on my hands and feet when I climbed the 400m “Costanostra” for the first time at Glandasse in the Vercor with Greg Sauget.
What kind of food do you eat?
Good, quality food, 100% organic when I’m at home.
