Jacky Godoffe


Quick Info

From: France 🇫🇷
Date of birth: 21st November 1956
Age: 69 years old
Gender: Male
Hardest Boulder (Worked): 8B

Bleausard, legend.

Success in climbing is just the tip of the iceberg. The most important thing for me is how to deal with such an important passion and also the rest of life. I am lucky to have had 5 children, and none of them never ever climbed, so at home at least I'm just a human trying to surf on the waves of life. This is a way harder than the most difficult boulder I ever climbed. [1]
