OBJECTIVE OF THE CLIMBING SESSION ?



No precise objective for this climbing session, the goal was to climb and have fun with friends, enjoy the view, the nature without looking for difficulty.


A LITTLE ANECDOTE ?

What's funny when you're a beginner on easy routes is to find yourself behind ropes of beginners, so you have a lot more time to talk.
At the top, there were a lot of chamois. The nature is magnificent.





WHAT EQUIPMENT DID YOU USE ?


Nathanaël had climbing shoes Katana Velcro from La Sportiva and Simon had climbing shoes Vapor V from Scarpa. They used 2 double ropes of 50, 12 quickdraws, karabiners, reverso... everything that is necessary to make a belay.


WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE BRANDS FOR CLIMBING?


For us, the reference brands for climbing are Scarpa and La Sportiva for climbing shoes, Mammut and Petzl for belay equipment.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT THIS TYPE OF OUTING?

What I like most about this kind of session is to take in the fresh mountain air with friends, to take the time to talk, to enjoy the beauty of the landscape and the nature that surrounds us. The mountain has this magical side that allows you to discover yourself a little more.
