Amandine Loury sends La Ligne Claire (8c+) along with an 8c
La ligne she had been trying for several years. After the send she decided to also try Les petits which she worked on one year ago.
”I always have been passionate about the rock, even when I was competing. In 2012 I decided to stop competition and to spend all my free time on the rock. I’m sport teacher close to Saint léger du ventoux and Buoux. I practice rock climbing 3-4 times per week and this is the main training I really do. I’m very lucky to live in this amazing area, surrounded by world-class crags.”
