Bonjour! I'm Catherine, and I've been free climbing for years now. There's something about the rush of adrenaline when you're scaling up a rock face that just can't be beat. And don't even get me started on the views from the top – absolutely breathtaking!
I've always been an athletic type, growing up playing sports like soccer and basketball back in France. But it wasn't until I discovered climbing that I really found my passion. There's something so freeing about being out in nature, relying solely on your own strength and agility to navigate the terrain.
As you can probably tell from this photo shoot (hehe), I'm a bit of a fitness enthusiast! You'll often find me hitting the gym or out running through the mountains whenever I have some downtime. I love keeping my body in shape so that I can take on even more challenging climbs and routes.
But it's not all about the physical aspect – climbing has also taught me so much about mental toughness and perseverance. When you're up there at 30 feet, suspended by nothing but a rope and your own wits, you learn to trust yourself in ways that are hard to describe. It's an incredible feeling of freedom, really.
I'm hoping to one day compete professionally – I've got my sights set on the European championships next year! But for now, I just love getting out into the mountains whenever I can and pushing myself to new heights (pun intended).
What about you? What brings you here
