La moustache qui fâche 9a+ by Nao Monchois
4 August 2022

"I had this route in mind for quite a long time, some friends were trying it and I really like this kind of short endurance route. It took me 10 sessions to get it done, within three trips. On first one, I could barely do the moves. Then I trained a bit and could make real tries on the second one. The third was the good 😊."
Why are you not doing the World Cup this year?
In France, the nationals are selective for the French team. As I messed up the semi-final, I was out for the season and the best I could do was to transfer my good shape into outdoor climbing.
So the selection is only based on one competition?
No, there was a team trial one month before the season started but there was only one spot and I finished third.
