Welcome to South Africa !





I just arrived one week ago in south Africa but it seems like 2/3 days ago.... the time is going really fast here.... After many problems of plane/luggage, we have spent two days in Cape town. In the program : visit, visit, visit and chilling ! The town, table mountain, cape of good hope, eating ostrich and crocodile :  what a wild life ! lol




After this two nice days in Cape town, we moved to Rocklands, 2 hours in the north of cape town.  A lot of people already know the reputation of this place amazing for all the tone of rock there !
Since we arrived here, the time is going soooo fast ! The rock is really nice and it's again a really good pleasure to climb there ! Last time we didn't see all the "famous" sector so we decide to go to the place we missed and climb all we could for the first 4 climbing days. 
I like so much this place, i feel really free, in peace..... I like to be there, walk and hear the nature growing.... it's really quite, without humans noise.... walking between the massive orange rock... 




The last two days, we have been climbing to our project. I went one day in "the vice" and an other day in "amphitheater". Actually, I can say I'm really happy cause i have sent "amphitheater" really quickly and I think i can't find a boulder more in my style. We went sooo far in the wild to find this cool boulder and at least I was really happy to climb it. It's a really pure line ! For the Vice : after one day of remembering the beta, i finally checked all the moves yesterday.... it's going well for the next few days !! Hope to have a good news to write soon!

Wild one the movie



I had the opportunity and the chance last sunday, to take part at one of the first screenings of this beautiful film. It was really interesting too see Philippe in this movie searching himself, his origin, the meaning of his life. It's a film about the handicap of course but not only... it's about research of oneself, sharing. And I think we can be inspired by this film and what it conveys to us. Thank you Philippe !
So if you have the opportunity to see it, don't hesitate !



Innsbruck, almost home sweet home !




What a great week end just past in innsbruck for the 4th World cup ! I think this picture can recap it well ! Great organization, nice boulder, awesome public !

The marktplatz was full of friends and innsbrooklins people for the final and it was a really intense moment ! The show was their for the final ! 



About the girl's problems : a final little bit easier than the others, i think, but more stressfull ! Still hard when you know that you have to flash the problems. I just regret one thing that i didn't understand nothing in the second boulder .... but it's always like that, you have ever something that you can regret. Anyway it was really a lot of fun and i was really happy to take part of this comp !
Here we say VIEL SPASS !!!




After a tough start to the season, I finally managed to express myself.... climb without pain and just be focussed on your climb... what a great thing !!!!!



AHAHAH !!!! Anna take a new kind of shower !! ;)



I'm in Innsbruck now since almost one month and i feel there almost like at home, "home sweet home !" I like the spirit of this town between the mountain, the spirit of the people, try to learn their language, try to speak with them.... hard hard !!!















Enjoy the Udo's Video !!!

First World cups !


 Competition Time !!!!!!!!!!!!!
      China/Slovenia/Austria





The beginning of the season was pretty hard for me : after a big finger injury two month ago, i try to recover as well as possible ! Competition need a lot of energy and after three consecutive world cup including one in China : i feel so exhausted this few days.



I wasn't feeling very fit for the first three World Cup but the most important thing for me was to climb again without pain. 
After a very bad competition in China, I managed to slip in the final in Slovenia and take along my place for the world championship in September. Unfortunately, all my energy left me in final and i have utterly failed to express myself in the boulders problems offered....
Reached the Viennese syndrome as every year, I finished 10th and dead tired !



I decide to stay in Innsbruck until the next world cup there, to train with the world class climber and of course spend good time with goofd friends there !! :) Zeit für deutsh lernen und sprechen ! Ya SICHER !!!

Trailer world championship PARIS BERCY !


I don't know if you have already seen this trailer about the world championship but you can see it as well now ! At least it was really funny and exhausted to do it : running everywhere in Paris ! Enjoy it !
