Team Athletes

We're delighted to announce the integration of Manon Hily, Pierre Le Cerf and Théo Ravanello into our YY Vertical Athlete Team. This collaboration marks a significant turning point in our commitment to the climbing community, reflecting our core values of passion and proximity.

By integrating these talented athletes into our team, we reinforce our commitment to supporting and developing climbing at all levels. Our closeness to climbers, whether beginners or professionals, is at the heart of our mission to advance this exciting sport.

Manon Hily

Thomas Caleyron

Manon Hily is one of the world's top female climbers. In competition, she is French vice-champion (2018 and 2022), bronze medallist at the 2022 European diff Championships, and bronze medallist at the 2023 diff World Cup in Briançon.
Above all, Manon now has 2 major projects: training to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics, and training to climb Biographie, a legendary 9a+ at Céüse.
Supporting her in these 2 projects seemed essential to us.

A word from Manon

We're lucky to have a lifelong passion, and it's just as important to be able to practice it in the best and most sustainable way possible. Whether it's preserving our bodies or the rock.

Pierre Le Cerf

Pierre Le Cerf is a multi-medal-winning, ultra-versatile French climber: he now has over a dozen routes in the 9th degree, and a string of podium finishes in bouldering competitions. And with style! Pierre's trademark is his climbing socks.
Pierre has a project: to climb as many routes as possible in the 9th degree, and to do it all over the world. A project we felt it was important to support.

A word from Pierre

Improving the little details that are complicated, saving time on little wastes here and there, improving comfort, making everything more pleasant, in short, that just a little something extra makes all the difference, that's what "living your sport better" is all about!

Théo Ravanello

Théo Ravanello, in addition to being Champion de France Espoir en Difficulté (2017), has accompanied us on photo and video shoots for several years. After a sabbatical year, Théo Ravanello returns to the world of competition in 2023, and it was natural for YY Vertical to accompany him in perfecting his training and in his quest for podiums and medals.
