The Climb: A Quest for Achievement

Navigating the twists and turns of the climbing world, I embarked on a quest to conquer routes that pushed the boundaries of my abilities. As depicted in the table above, my ascent to the pinnacle of climbing prowess was not without its hurdles. Yet, with each challenge tackled and every obstacle overcome, I found myself inching closer to my ultimate goal.

Training Regimen: The Key to Success

Frequency of Climbing:

Striking a balance between ambition and practicality, I aim for three outdoor climbs per week, but that's not possible, so supplemented by sessions at the climbing gym. While this ideal frequency may be challenging to maintain, it serves as a compass guiding my dedication to the sport.

Climbing Gym Sessions:

Within the confines of the climbing gym, I devote approximately three hours to honing my skills. Preceded by a thorough stretching routine, my time is primarily dedicated to route climbing, with occasional forays into bouldering when a partner is unavailable.

Outdoor Climbing Expeditions:

Venturing into the great outdoors, I immerse myself in the splendor of natural rock formations. With a focus on quality over quantity, I undertake a selective number of routes, balancing warm-up assignments with dedicated attempts at project climbs

The Pursuit of Progress

Even as I celebrate the achievement of my goals, I remain acutely aware of the ever-present allure of new challenges. Beyond the conquest of "De la terre à la Une (8a)," lies a horizon brimming with uncharted routes and unexplored terrain. With unwavering determination, I set my sights on scaling new heights, aspiring to conquer yet another (8a) grade route while embracing the thrill of exploration.
