Changement de slip!!!! September 19, 2011

Salut,

Le premier slip c'est la "PATERNITE", avec l'arrivée de Mina. Un nouveau rythme de vie. Sa naissance a été la plus grande émotion de ma vie.

Second slip, je vais être rideur chez Salomon. C'est pour cela que je rentre d'un petit trip bien en décalage avec ma fonction de grimpeur.. J'étais en Utah pour ne pas grimper. Incroyable!!! Mais si, c'est croyable car ma réunion de travail se trouvait sur le Lac Powell. Nous avons bossé sur la mise au point des vêtements, sac à dos, des fixes de ski, des chaussures, des skis et de tout ce qui permet d'aller glisser en montagne. J'ai quand même réussi à grimper un peu, on se refait pas... (les photos de grimpe sont d'Elina, encore merci)

Après deux ans de collaboration avec Salomon, le premier gros produit va sortir dans les semaines qui viennent. Il s'agit de la Guardian, fixation d'alpin à option de montée. C'était pour moi essentiel d'avoir des fixations sur lesquelles je puisse skier vite et en sécurité, mais aussi remonter un bout de pente en cas de chute d'un collègue, ou aller chercher le carré de peuf de l'autre coté de la station...Bref le lancement arrive, vous en saurez plus à ce moment là.

J'ai quand même quelques images de ce "community summit" mémorable. J'explique un peu de quoi il s'agit...On fait des réunions entre athlète, conseiller technique et développeur pour mettre en relation nos connaissances et nos besoins afin de trouver la direction des futures lignes de produits. Dans cette même idée, j'attends le Roc Trip en Chine avec impatience pour grimper mais aussi pour discuter des futures produits et pratiques autour de la grimpe et de l'alpinisme.

Réunion dedans...

Réunion dehors!!!! Plus facile d'être créatif....

Voilà en gros de quoi est rempli ma vie en ce moment. J'ai aussi quelques chantiers (trop dur?) en blocs mais il faut pas mal de temps et de motivation pour me mettre au niveau!!!!

C'est reparti... October 23, 2010

Bonjour,

Quelques images de ces deux dernières semaines. Je reprends le sport après 5 mois de chantier, j'en profite pour ressortir le boitier aussi. Le prochain mois sera consacré uniquement à la grimpe. Cela fait un an que je n'ai pas fait de trip grimpe. Objectif de mise en forme avec du volume au Mexique. Je vais grimper le plus possible. Ensuite camping-car trip à Bleau pour 15 jours et là encore volume de bloc. Puis 15 jours de ski au Canada pour laisser les bras au repos. Tout un programme.....A tout.


Orco Reprise!!! September 26, 2010

Hello,

Me voici de retour sur la toile. Je reprends mes activités de prédilections après un été de BTP. Hé oui a mon âge il faut penser à la retraite, donc je construis une maison. J'ai voulu reprendre plus tôt mais une chute en VTT a retardé ma reprise.

J'ai donc fait mes premiers 6a ce week-end pendant le rassemblement de "trad" du Val d'Orco. Tip-top, avec le nouveau topo en poche et tous les locaux comme guide, on a fait une journée de fissure pédagogique sur les blocs du "Caporale". Merci aux cousins Italien pour leur accueil, dommage pour eux, ils risquent de me revoir car le coin vaut vraiment le déplacement. Voies, grandes voies, "trad", bloc, tout est possible ici et dans un cadre somptueux.... Deux trois images pour se rendre compte...

A la semaine prochaine pour de nouvelles aventures....

X-Tones April 2, 2008

YOOOO !! I did a bouldering comp this week-end !!

After severals months of skiing & mountaineering, it was good to restart climbing.
I had a good training with two days in Fontainebleau and three days in Annot.

With a big group of friends we headed to El Cogul, and after a lot of stops (to buy wine 'y jamón'...) we finally arrived, to climb some good "spanish problems". We start by night with a nice prow (as a special preparation for the X-tones comp...)

Saturday morning, the qualifications : Sixteen boulders problems for warming up, fiveteen cool and one eliminante. I did the best qualification, in a "Jérôme Meyer's" style... I explain the strategy :
You look for the betas, and after a huge mental work, you try a flash attempt !! That's a pretty good way to keep skin and power...



The day was really hot and we had only three hours to climb.
The qualifications deadline was ten boulders minimum, and besides, Mike Fuselier missed the Finals because he forgot to give his paper to the judges...  ;-))

The best problem of the day was a huge prow. Chris did it first, he was really motivated to compete. This motivation inspired me a lot...
He was not here for sightseeing, and he was right !  I tried to remenber that for the Finals...

*** FINALS ***


The final game was at night time, in a kind of quarry.
It was nice, the climbing was interresting and for a comp it was ok, but that's not the kind of problems I really like...

I tried to be as motivated as the other climbers, but it was not my style. After one hour of easy problems, we started to attempt the four hard problems.
A diedral with a very slippery left foot. Just too hard for me (five tries !!). During this time Klemen and Bruno sent the left and the right problems.

At this time Mike said to me :

- "if you climb these two problems, you can win !!", I said :
- "Ok dude"...

After few tries I sent the left one. My arms were really tired but my mind was full of energy and inspiration.
I tried the right one flash, and sent it after a good fight. At this time, I didn't really know whether Bruno was like me or he had more tries.








I tried the last problem do-able for me, but I had only twenty minutes to send it. Klemen was close to succeed as well!! I started to try with him.
If I did it, I was sure to win.
After a couple of tries, it was the end of the comp and my last try for this double dyno : I jumped, and I was close to reach the left hand!! What a shame!!!

Afterwards, there was the big fiesta and an unexpected football game on a tennis playground...
The next day was a great day with Erwan's birthday.

It was also weird, because two friends of me were in the hospital.
I was happy to win the comp and sad for them, I hope everything will be allright for my friends....

We finally had a long "french private party" for the pleasure to be with Erwan and the Petzl team.

Thanks to all the organization, Ferran and Key...
To be continued !

A tout !!
