Jules Marchaland makes the umpteenth ascent of Condé de Choc (9a) with a broken toe!
What about your broken toe that we saw sticking out of your shoe in Briancon?
I broke my toe during a rugby game with friends 13 months ago and without shoes. The bone was broken so I could not put the toe in a climbing shoe 🥲 I didn’t fix the shoe haha, I pierced it so my toe could come out [which can be seen in the picture].
What is next? Are you doing the World Championship next month?
No, in France it is just the « olympic team ». I was close on Punt'X (9a) in my home crag so maybe soon 🤫
