Idรฉe fixe 8c by Nolwen Berthier
Nolwen Berthier, who did two 8c+ last year, has done her tenth 8c, Idรฉe fixe La Saume after some ten sessions. (c) Thรฉo Cartier
"I didnโt climb so much in La Saume in the past, but this summer I wanted to fix it. โIdรฉe Fixeโ is one of the classic lines of this sector and I wanted to try it for a while !
