Une Arquée pour le criquet 8c by Maël Musson (16)

Maël Musson has done Une Arquée pour le criquet (8c) in Rocher des Brumes. In total, it took the 16-year-old three sessions, including some 15 odd tries, to send it.

"It was equipped by the famous local climber Yann Ghesquier. It's a magnificent overhang of about 30m which is divided into 2 parts of about 15m each. The first part is rather intensive (about 8b) and consists of 2 cruxes with very demanding heel hooks. After a short rest, there is a second easier section (about 8a/+) but is still very tough and not to be underestimated."

Could you tell us a little more about your climbing background?
My parents were both climbers, so I started climbing at a very young age. I only really started to climb seriously at around 8/9 years old. I did my first routes in the 8th grade around 11 or 12 years old then my first 8C at 14 years old during the summer of 2020.
