He is only 20 and already such a talented mountaineer. He divides his living between Annecy where he lives, Chambéry where he studies for his sports science degree and Chamonix where he expresses his creativity on the alpine summits.
When 16, Yann threw himself into mountaineering which encouraged him to build his own vision of the mountain. Today he has achieved a mentality that goes beyond pure performance. His definition of mountaineering is based on 3 pillars:
-performance in its purest meaning
-affection and humanity
-the beauty of climbing in itself: the view, the aesthetic value of the route and of the movements.
Yann was probably attracted to this sport because of the human factor. The idea of triumphing with others and not over them, of reaching summits thanks to the joint effort of a team.
Looking for freedom and harmony with nature, Yann already participated in many expeditions, such as the “Hommage à Walter Bonatti” route. During 6 days, he climbed some of the Mont-Blanc’s most famous summits, in a wild and desert environment.
