If I had known that this mountain would be so difficult, I would never have taken Thomas... even though it was his first "real" mountain bike ride with me! I still warned him: “it’s an exploration, nothing is certain…”
Exploring and failing is not a problem... The problem is when you discover a line that is at the limits. At the limits of what is possible: extreme steepness, atrocious terrain, abominable difficulty of ascent (in the couloir, we progressed 150 m per hour!), wild environment without the slightest trace of path... And on top of that everything, the weather which gets involved, bringing us wind, fog and temperatures not far from 0°C...
The most surprising thing is that we succeeded! Well no, the most surprising thing is that Thomas still wants to come ride with me in the mountains after that...
