Sunday July 28, 2019, 3:30 a.m.: The Desert in Valjouffrey, Upper Bonne Valley
“Hey, psssst, get up, gotta go! my buddy Max whispers to me, trying not to wake the other people in the dorm. Talk about it, I barely slept all night and I was ready to take off in less than 10 seconds. All things are ready, I lace up my shoes, swallow a biscuit and I follow the silhouette of my companion in this clear and promising night.

Here is the video of a unique canyon outing on Reunion Island: Colonoscopy V4A2VI
The initial objective was to do the Ravine Blanche waterfall but the unpredictable and capricious weather pushed us to change our plans to embark on Colonoscopie. The most memorable thing about this day is certainly the strenuous approach in the tropical jungle. Fortunately, I was well accompanied by Clem and Aurel who already knew the place!

"I'm going but I'm scared", this cult phrase, has never so well represented our state of mind before leaving for the Totem Pole!
5 years ago, when I went to visit Greece by car with Claire to cut between the two years of preparation, we went to Meteora, marveling at these rock formations. I said to myself: “We'll have to come back for a Kalymnos-Meteora trip”. Kalymnos is done.
No sooner said than done ! After this famous appetizer at the Rocher du Midi in De Charybde en Scylla, the following weekend, we tackled something harder.
No need to go paragliding to spend a day in the clouds. Just go to the Rocher du Midi on a day when the weather is forecast to be fine!

A week of climbing in the Peak District and fairly decent weather allowed me to discover some of the mythical grit sectors, especially Stanage!
The reputation of this sector is well established, the blocks are high and often difficult, the landings sometimes a little exposed and the rock, with this particular texture, requires some time to adapt and good positioning! In short, you have to be strong technically and above all mentally!
CLIMBING AND CANYONING INSTRUCTOR (DE)
Passionate climber, I officially started climbing at the age of 6. The exterior and the mineral correspond to my ultimate aspirations. The playground is endless and the rock always has new subtleties to submit and puzzles to decode. I practice outdoor climbing in all its forms at a sustained level: from bouldering to multi-pitch in adventure terrain.
On the canyon side, my father, Pierre Minvielle, introduced me to it at a very young age around Rodellar, the place of his finest explorations. He gave me a taste for adventure and discovery and above all passed on his love for the Sierra de Guara.
Trained as an engineer, I decided to venture into the world of teaching and the transmission of knowledge by becoming a climbing and canyoning instructor in order to be able to share this passion that drives me and help those who wish to achieve their dreams.

I grew up far from the mountains, on an island in the middle of the Pacific and if my first ascents were those of coconut trees, I became passionate about climbing when I returned to France. Touch of everything, globetrotter and passionate about outdoor activities on all elements, I became a fan of thrilling sports such as highline, base-jump and canyoning.
For me, the mountains and these activities restore to us this capacity for admiration and wonder that modern existence can so easily evacuate. Live fully the happiness of the moment, the renunciation of living for tomorrow because today is enough.
My meeting with Caro will have finally sealed my destiny, here I am a climber, in love with the Vercors and the Sierra de Guara, ready to share my passion with those who wish.
