About Me

Before 24th - I was a little bit extreme, wanted to go further anyway, anytime. Get lost.

I graduated my last exam to be a soldier in the French Army in march 2016, but the 24th december 2015, when I was climbing 'Terre Promise' in Kronthal (Alsace), I just fell badly.
The rope happened to struggle my thumb during the fall and I lost it.

2016/02/23 - Now thumbless, I'm waiting for a transfer from my foot to my hand. I hope it will work and I'm scared.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lost a thumb while climibng 'Terre Promise'.

Live for one year near the "Saint Laurent" river in the Saguenay, Québec. See how the nature make everything change. See how the nature is powerful and the river entirely frost. To see whales and belugas: That is magic.

Making the tent while storming during climbing trail :D memorable.

Usualy climb in the street, some people already said I was crazy.

Spend 2 days and a night in the forbidden Catacombs of Paris.

Pass few days in Paris as an Homeless.

I'm just living. Yes like you! And that is incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love music. I'm learning trumpet right now and learned to play the guitar before to go to the university. I play ukulele a little, guitar and didgeridoo and can share some tips.

I've done theater as storyteller and can share some tales too.

I would like to drink some beers or climb. Love climbing, almost every evening bouldering and climbing outside when I can.

See you soon Bro!
