Paraclimbing Competition in US


After a long journey from Paris to Denver and from Denver to Vail, we had the US Paraclimbing competition after the World Cup. I t was an amazing time with all paraclimbers during 3 days. We got all psyched after to watch semi-finals and finals. Then it was our turn to exprime ourself on the wall. Probably lucky or not I got the third place in the physical/ neurologic category. Awesome!
See you in Petzl Roc Trip in the Tarn and Natural Games

Limay's National Competition

Sorry to be absent for couple weeks but it is the life.
Sometimes the life is so fast that you can realize all things you want.

Last week I just came back form Romania where I spent 12days to promote the Wild One film and to climb with many friends met there. Always when I visit a new country I feel many spirits and good vibrations. I will let you know about my private life (even is not with the film) if it is an happy end but right now I keep the secret for my close friends.

This 2nd June I went to Limay for a national competition and also who serve for the coach as a selection for the next french team!
Not so long many sentences to exprime this day. But I have to admit I was badly motivated to keep my place in this team. Anyway, I was maybe too much and I was not so far to be rejected. But sometimes spirits and souls helps you to go on your side. But this time I will say that I train a lot with my friend Urh Cehovin who pushed me a lot to train in Slovenia. Hvala my friend I appreciate your helps and I wish you will be still my trainer for the next seasons!
My first qualification was so fast that I didn't realize I was really calm to manage it. But the second qualification route was an other history because I slept with my right hand. I was cranky with myself because I thought I broke all my trainings in 1 seconds. And that is the horrible thing could happen at all champions that we are.
Just 5mn to go out alone, to scream and to calm down....I came back to the game.
Yes I go to finals and I want to be selected...
I walk so motivated, to not look the public, the last chalk on hands..and go!
I felt where I didn't expected but at least i did my job without any regrets.
I finished in the second place in my categorie. Coola Seka Boula!


Now I just rest in Font for 2 days and Wenesday I go to Vail for the World Cup where there is a paraclimbing competition. I will also represent the only french member of the team because It was not included in the program of the world cup. So I go by myself and I have to say " Thx you North Face" ...

See you around the world.

MARCH-APRIL-MAY 2013

Hi everyone

I missed up that not everyone has the Facebook to follows the promotional tour in the east countries.
Well! in the beginning march I went to Croatia to make a tour : Split, Rijeka and Zagreb
So I spent really nice time with croatian people who care about me. In the same ti\me, I met also the french lady from the french embassy who respect my work and to propose me to make some lecture for them. It is a good recognizing and I am proud of it. Sorry!
 




Then as you know I went to Macedonia to clean new lines and to play the music for the festival. It is always a new world or a new dimension there. We always have good times and we feel at home. I propose you to watch again the film to get inspired and maybe to join us for the next trip in the end of october. Come !

After Macedonia I spent all my times in the climbing gyms to push myself on the hard training. I always was with my friend Urh Cehovin who was a competitor at the time when I started the climbing sport. Let talk about it! I have to admit that in somehow the training is good addiction and also an help to get less the ego about your strength to compare with others. Climbing is not a competition to fight with your concurrent. It is only you and the rock! Your brain has to be relax and focused on the moves. The most important I learned about myself is my weakness to grab small old. In fact, as you know my forearms has not strength and I have to exercise to get this "small" strength. At least I train a lot on the changement of the position of my fingers. Often when I am pumped or not sure to do the movement I used to put the thumb on the old and his covered by 4 fingers. I missed always the space but I had the guaranty to do the movement.

first one : before                                     Training                                                After


It is a lot of progression for me but in the other side I accepted to regress one grade because the charge of the training drives me slowly tired. So the energy is not the same and I had to accept this defeat. In slovenian language, they says " Je biga"...That's the life!

For the end of my east trip I went to inaugurate the climbing gym of my friends : Luka Fonda and Mina Markovic who opened this new gym near the border of the Italia (Trieste) and Slovenia (Sesana). If one day you go to Slovenia and the rain makes the confusion, go to PLUS CLIMBING GYM and you will get the fun.


One week later my week-end was busy and I thought I will die by exhausting.

Firstly I was invited by the Domzale Film Festival where I felt the first time a bit not confortable when I
saw the speaker with tears on her cheeks. Waow it is....no words.

 Domzale Film Festival

Then I went to Pohtoroz to do a coaching for the YES. It is an association in Slovenia was founded with the aim to connect the generation of young and talented individuals from various fields of activity, in order to create a positive and supportive environment in which young people can fully realize their potential.

I was so lucky to be invited by Til Jovovic who belief at my story after to see the trailer of the Wild One. It was also a good ambient when you see the pretties hostess who care about me. Oups i go so far now with this sentence ;-)
After a good night on the Life Style Hotel, I went to support the NLP Ligua organized by gyms in Ljublijana where I rowling the music for the final.
After this busy week-end I went to sleep in the peace and ready to go to Melloblocco where I showed the film the 2nd May and also to be the DJ with my friend Dave Graham. Read more >>>
