I fell in love with high mountains in the Himalayas – Nepal in April 94, precisely in the sanctuary of the Annapurnas.
Back to Europe, I started to climb in the Alps, training, meeting great people, learning.
I started then to climb more and more, trying big ascents, mostly in the Himalayas.
So many things to say over more than 25 years…so I will progressively write down our ascents’ stories.
During my London period, I have been honored to become a British Alpine Club full member, honor which is based upon a minimum of 20 significant ascents in the world.
