Oriane Bertone (16) doing the FFA of Karma 8A+

Oriane Bertone, who did her first 8A+, out of 19, at age 12, has done Karma (8A+) in Fontainebleau. "This time it was dry and cold in Font ! I felt it quite easy in these good conditions. I was surprised to sent it on my first try of this session. I am so happy to send this amazing and iconic line of the forest."

Last year the 16-year-old was #3 in the Boulder World Cup including having been runner-up in her two first World Cup. In the previous junior comps she has won pretty much every event she has entered including both disciplines in the World as well as in the Euro Championship in 2019.
