Climbing and canyoning in Rodellar and Royans-Vercors
There are still stars in my eyes thinking back to that fall day. The kind of day that Haute-Savoie sometimes offers us in October, you just have to know how to seize it. Last year I took the opportunity to spend a beautiful day at altitude in Digital Crack. This year, the Fiz are dry and still taunt me with its high walls. 3 years that I want to visit the wall of Anterne, since I live at the foot.

After a few days of rinds in the South of France, particularly in Roquevaire, we are heading with Max to the Verdon to start the multi-pitch season at the beginning of April!
What I am going to tell you corresponds to my thoughts and feelings experienced over the past two months during the process of working and linking Classe Croute, 8b. It's a work process that I discover in these terms and which can correspond to any climber who reaches his limit and tries to push it back, whether in 6b or 9a.
It all starts on the New Year's weekend that we spend at Mollans, a cliff that I finally discover. After 3 full days of testing, I got to the end of Classe Pieds, a solid 7c+ which could well be worth 8a given the high level of resistance required. This 1er January, the conditions are perfect, we are the only ones in this sector Céline and I and we each do our routes side by side: Classe Pieds for me and Classe Croute for Céline! In short, nothing to say about the ideal nature of this day.

First weekend as a team in a select committee: Antoine, Gabriel, Arnaud and me. We decide on Autridge, the beautiful cliff perched above the Ardèche gorges. No one knows except Antoine. For him it's a bit like his garden. Our local has done almost all the routes and sends us his desire…
"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!

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.

CLIMBING AND CANYONING INSTRUCTOR (DE)
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.
