>>> AYMERIC CLOUET - 28 years old, from Grenoble, France.
|
 |
My motivations are travelling, great open spaces, mixed or ice climbing,
new challenges and technical faces, well, pretty much anything, and the
more technical the better. |
|
Whether I am free climbing, combining free ice and rock climbing or artificial
climbing, every time, I adapt my technique in order to explore the most
inaccessible parts of our planet. Take the first free climb on the ‘Cruz del Sur’,
an 800m granite face 7c+ or the opening in 25 hours of a route on the south
face of the Chacraraju (6001m, mixed M6) or the opening in 11 hours of the
"Tambo Churros y Amigos" on the east face of the Jirishanca (6100 m),
each one a technical challenge in a remote location.
I am also fascinated by photo and video images, and each time I come back
from an expedition, I enjoy sharing the images and memories with whoever is
interested.
