Manon Hily is one of the best climbers in the world. In competition, she is Vice-champion of France (2018 and 2022), bronze medalist at the 2022 European Diff Championships, and bronze medalist at the 2023 Diff World Cup in Briançon.
Above all, Manon today has 2 important projects: training to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and training to complete Biographie, a legendary 9a+ located in Céüse.
Supporting her in these 2 projects seemed essential to us.

Manon's word

It's a chance to have a passion that drives us throughout our lives and to be able to practice it to the best of our ability, and in a sustainable way that's just as important. Whether by preserving our body or the rock.

Pierre Le Cerf

Pierre Le Cerf is a multi-medalist and ultra-versatile French climber: he now has more than ten routes in the 9th grade, and has a string of podiums in bouldering competitions. And with style! Pierre has an essential trademark: The climbing sock.
Pierre has a project: to do as many routes as possible in the ninth and to do that all over the world. A project that we felt was important to support.

Pierre's word

Improve the little details that are complicated, save time on small wastes of time here and there, improve comfort, make everything more pleasant, in short, let just a little something extra make all the difference, it That’s “better living your sport”!
