Quick Info

From: France đŸ‡«đŸ‡·
Date of birth: 10th June 1997
Age: 27 years old
Hardest Boulder (Worked): 9A
Hardest Boulder (Flash): 8A+
Hardest Sport (Worked): 9a+

Lucien Martinez:

A last one for the road. In the 65° overhang of Blocage, the small ‘gym’ in Font, Nico Pelorson opened a boulder (red holds) with a move of pure crimping and core strength that seemed to me not to work. Yet Nico managed to do it, and even adding the two moves prior. It was around the time he made Big Island sit [Soudain Seul] and he was a monster. The climbers who passed by the gym and saw his boulder thought it was so impossible as to be a joke. [1]
