Cinderella in the French camp

Without wishing to be chauvinistic, as a French climbing brand, we're very happy with the results of the Chamonix Climbing World Cup!
Hélène Janicot took bronze in the women's category, and Sam Avezou (les ultra Avezou!) took silver in the men's category.
Not forgetting, of course, Victoire Andrier's silver medal in the women's "speed" category.

Just three weeks after his first-ever international podium in the Bouldering World Cup in Innsbruck, Sam Avezou wins his first international medal in the senior difficulty category.

Same Cinderella story for Hélène Janicot: a return to the international podium after several years' absence. Her last international podium was... 2014 ! 

VerticalBoard madness

We were there, of course!
In partnership with Au Vieux Campeur, we set up our structure to enable the thousands of spectators to test and train on our VerticalBoard climbinghangboards .

Faced with a magical landscape, surrounded by Mont Blanc, the Drus and the Aiguilles Rouges, the VerticalBoard test appealed to young and old alike. Against this backdrop, 3 comments came up regularly to describe our training hangboards :

• The quality of the wood means your hands won't get damaged
• Accountability of inserts and elastics for unrivalled range of progression
• The range comprises 4 VerticalBoards to suit all levels of climber, from beginner to expert, so you can choose the one that's right for you.

To sum up

Thank you to everyone who tested our products, took part in our challenges, or simply came to see an exceptional event!

And thank you to the athletes for their performance, commitment and motivation.
