After « rain on snow » photo Quite graphic to see all these wrinkles on domes, but insane it rained that high on a 31st of december… #Freebird #Mentis #BlackCrows @blackcrows_skis (à Dome De Vaugelaz) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYUOPdto3Ya/?utm_medium=tumblr

« Des mains pour demain », parce que l’on peut tous faire mieux pour notre planète. Personne n’est parfait mais chaque geste compte et a un effet positif. Ma vision a toujours été d’AGIR au lieu de rester témoin impuissante des bouleversements climatiques. Alors Agissons tous ensemble pour faire bouger les choses. #DesMainsPourDemain @unebouteillealamer_asso 📷 @domdaher Plus d’infos sur la campagne « Des Mains pour Demain » et pour soutenir notre association « Une bouteille à la Mer » avec le lien dans ma bio. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVsy1hcJ7v6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Really fun and interesting to have been helping to develop the latest @blackcrows_skis freebird collection. The whole range has been reinvented this year, all rebuilt around choices on materials and supplies. Sourcing and production are all from Europe which is pretty good. We are already stoked of this season apparel, thanks to everyone involved in the team! And already looking to make some improvements for the futur.

So good to reconnect with the mountains after almost 5 weeks of « nursing »! Even more when it’s with my bestie @carolinewaregeorge and for the awesome project of the #WomenPeakChallenge set up on the initiative of @myswitzerland. (Thumbs up for the incredible work and efforts Caroline had put in this project. Without her nothing could have happened) This time the idea was to guide up the @twinclimbers on Breithorn, two sisters with a high spirit, fun energy and good humor who already climbed Mount Everest at 21! Sometimes it’s just good to have a fun and easy day out in mountains I ❤️ All photos by the talented @ni_schafer 📸 . . . #BlackCrows #Birdie #Freebird #GetOutStayOut #Freedom #MountainsAreAwesome #SeaToSummit #PetzlGram #ATKbindings #NoPlaceTooFar #ScarpaSpa #ShareYourAdventure #ItsAVuarnetDay #WeArePetzl #MountainVersatility #MountainGuideLife #GivingHappiness #ProtectOurWinters #MyBagPackofHappiness #PeakChallengeBreithorn #MonteRosaMassif #INeedSwitzerland @blackcrows_skis (à Zermatt, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYHkngo-iM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Il n’y a pas à dire, l’ascension du Mont Blanc reste quelque chose d’assez incroyable et de magique. C’est une course longue, haute (presque 5000m!), avec quelques passages exposés. On a beau banaliser le sommet le plus haut d’Europe, il n’en est rien. En fouler sa cîme est toujours un plaisir, que l’on y arrive par une belle voie prestigieuse de sa face Sud ou par l’une de ses voies normales. Avec @caro_arpin et Pierre-Jean, nous avons partagé un magnifique Mont Blanc. Une météo parfaite, d’excellentes conditions et relativement peu de monde sur cette montagne qui d’habitude est assez encombrée. Bravo pour l’effort, pour la volonté d’aller jusqu’en haut, pour avoir su rester lucides à la descente. Cette ascension, ces paysages, ces émotions, on n’est pas prêts de les oublier! . There's no need to say, the ascent of Mont Blanc remains something quite incredible and magical. It's a long day, high in altitude (almost 5000m!) with a few places where you have to be very focus. Although we trivialise the highest summit in Europe, it's not. Being on top of Mont Blanc is always a pleasure, whether you get there by a beautiful prestigious route on its south side or by one of its normal routes. With @caro_arpin and Pierre-Jean, we shared a magnificent Mont Blanc. Perfect weather, excellent conditions and relatively few people on this mountain that is usually quite crowded. This ascent, these views, these emotions, will definitely remain as memorable moments for the three of us! @blackcrows_skis (à Mont Blanc 4810) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7BcNdIcQ6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Stoked Climbing is finally an Olympic sport! Back in the days, we were told that there was too many summer disciplines at the Olympics. The only chance, for our sport would had been to try to get it in the Winter Olympics…. Climbing being an Olympic sport was back in 2000 a very far dream for us. And then, Tokyo happened! With its amazing athletes, all its emotions, all its crazy moments. Really happy Climbing is now part of this huge and magical event, with a better recognition of the sport and its athletes. The format for those first Olympics was for sure far from ideal but it can now evolves toward something better for the athletes. Massive congratulations to the first ever gold medalists @janja_garnbret and @albertogines_ , but also to all the impressive climbers who got qualified at Tokyo. Getting there was already a huge performance by itself. The level and versatility of everyone is definitely impressive and the sport is for sure way more demanding and powerful than when we were competing 20 years ago. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, thanks to all the climbers who gave all their best (and made my hand sweety again…) 10 days after I’m still thinking of all this. Can’t wait for Paris2024 and see what will be next! 📸 @jonglassberg / @jess_talley / @louderthan11 . . . #Climbing #Olympics #Tokyo2020 #Paris2024 (à Tokyo Olympic Games 2021) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSpIr0EI2Gx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Petite montée tranquille sur un de mes décos préférés, avec un genou qui plie et qui n’est plus douloureux. Bien contente. Encore un peu de temps pour retourner sur des grandes bambées mais ca devrait bien le faire 😎 Retour par la voie des airs, juste à tant pour regarder les qualif hommes à #Tokyo2020. Et quel spectacle! . . Sweet little hike & fly this morning to test my injured knee. And it felt surprinsigly good! Still need to be a bit more patient, but things are on their way… Thanks to Kate and Jeff for sharing this moment under the cloudy sky 👌 Got home just on time to watch the men qualifications at Tokyo2020. And so impressed by everyone! Can’t wait for the finals! 💪 . . . #Freebird #BlackCrows #Birdie #itsaVuarnetday #GetOutStayOut #MountainsAreAwesome #MountainVersatility #Skin3P #Niviuk #Paragliding #TheMagicCombo #HikeandFly #SeatoSummit #Petzlgram #NoPlaceTooFar #ScarpaSpa #ProtectWhatYouLove #MyBagPackofHappiness @blackcrows_skis @niviukparagliders (à Aiguille de Varan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHlBeaodZl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Là où j’aimerai être, versus, la situation du moment… Cela fait une bonne semaine maintenant que j’ai un genou douloureux, signe d’une inflammation. Probablement trop de descentes à pied et pas assez de parapente 😉 Cela va prendre un petit moment pour se remettre, heureusement rien de trop long. Les jours à venir seront donc dédiés à la rééducation, remusculation et surtout je vais avoir le temps de travailler sur ma posture et mon bassin qui me posent problème depuis un an. Et ça, c’est une très bonne chose. Merci à la petite équipe autour de moi qui m’aide à progresser… 🌞🌞🌞 . . . Where I wished to be versus where I am… A week ago my knee got painful and swollen, sign of inflammation. Too many down hills descent, not enough flying 😉 It’s going to take a little bit of time, nothing too long though. The good thing about it, is that I will have time to work on my pelvis and walking posture who had been a problem for a year now. I’m lucky to have a good small team around me to help working on my weakness. Even if I had to change a lot of plans, it won’t be too long before heading back to the mountains again 🌞🌞🌞 . . . 📸 pic 1 @mathieunavillod / @unebouteillealamer_asso (à Home Sweet Home) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR1qUUHJjiv/?utm_medium=tumblr

😎 Have a Vuarnet Day! 😎 When we’re in the mountains our eyes are sometimes exposed for many hours to sun and snow reflections, and we don’t always think about how to protect them. A dark lens does not necessarily provide good protection. Effective sunglass lenses should filter UV as well as infrared light. I always use mineral glass lenses (instead of polycarbonate lenses) in the mountains. For a long day out on the glacier or in the snow my go-to lens is the Skilynx (best lens ever, no joke).   That is why I am SO stoked to be working with Vuarnet, manufacturer of high-quality mineral glass lenses made in France since 1957. Use code LIV20 on eu.vuarnet.com for 20% off your own pair of these amazing sunglasses. Give your eyes the best protection! . . . #ItsAVuarnetDay @vuarnetofficial (à In The Mountains) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRZUl1vpVVq/?utm_medium=tumblr

A few more pics from a couple days ago, before weather turned too bad. Sarah-Jane was doing quite well with altitude and we headed to the next 4000m peak, Castor, at 4225m. It’s another nice summit of the Monte Rosa range with a beautiful ridge. A bit thin at some places. The wind had gotten stronger, the air was colder and the sky was showing signs of bad weather coming. I had a little time pressure in my minds that day. With a steady pace, Sarah-Jane and I got to the summit quite early and before bigger groups showed up. Once again we could have the summit all for ourselves, although only for a short moment. Once again my eyes were amazed by all the beautiful mountains around us. This nice feeling was accompanied by a certain satisfaction to have brought Sarah up here and share all these very special moments with her. Thank you for your trust Sarah-Jane, for being so interested in learning and for all we spent together. It was a real pleasure and I can’t wait for more longer days in the mountains together @je.respire.donc.je.suis 🌞🌞 . Pic 1 : on top of Castor, the ridge from where we came on the background Pic 2 : Sarah-Jane on the summit with the thin ridge on the background Pic 3 : Mountains view… Ober Gabelhorn, Zinalrothorn, Weisshorn… 🙌 Pic 4 : Sarah-Jane under a changing sky. Bad weather is on its wat Pic 5 : the two of us on the summit.
