Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried Dreamtime for the first time at Christmas with my brother Camille. He did it, but I fell at the top. I was so close. After my exams, I was planning to go back, but the weather was not good, all the holds were wet. So I decided to take a rest day and wait for better conditions, but even after this rest day, the weather was still bad. I grabbed every fan I could find, and for my last run, I send it ! it was a project with my brother and we did it together it was one of the best process i did 😎

What is your climbing background?
We started climbing very early in Grenoble thanks to our dad. Later, we joined the Drac Vercors climbing club and started competing. Then we moved on to the Voiron national training center, where we achieved podium finishes and reached the finals in national competitions. Camille managed to compete internationally, unlike me, who stopped competing two years ago to focus outdoor climbing like off the wagon. Before the start of the competition season, we decided to go to Dreamtime. Now Camille is at the french championship the first big comp of the season.
