Didier Berthod
Crazy about Artif
« Pushing the limits »
Didier was born in 1981. He is fond of climbing. But not any kind …! His favourite is climbing with nuts, and Big Walls.
They are not so many cracks that still resist him! Didier is also crazy of boulder. He stays far from climbing competitions, because he is really against it.
As he is studying to become a Guide, he is also an electrician in Bramois, Switzerland. He lives his climbing passion looking for the best spots worldwide (rock and ice falls). He likes all vertical terrain, far from any human activity…
