Leading French rock and competition climber of the 1980s to mid-1990s. Tribout travelled extensively and pushed climbing standards both in France and the USA.

Tribout started climbing in Fontainebleau and Le Saussois. Visiting southern France often with fellow Parisians like Marc and Antoine Le Menestrelhe competed for new routes and early repeats with local climbers like Patrick Edlinger. He enjoyed the rivalries he provoked celebrating his combative approach with route names like Badman (8b+). His competitive nature made him an early adopter of the practice of working routes extensively and sometimes strayed into enhancing or manufacturing hold, a practice he now decries.
