Before
<p>Oriane Bertone is one of the most successful comp climbers of the 2020s and represented France at Paris Olympics in 2024. She was also a Bleausard child prodigy, ticking many of the forest’s hard classics and was the youngest person to climb 8B+ with her ascent of <a href="/climb/793/golden-shadow" rel="noopener noreferrer">Golden Shadow</a> in Rocklands, aged 12.</p>
<p>Bertone was born in Nice, and grew up on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean in a family that loved the outdoors:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When you are a child, you just want to climb everywhere in trees and walls. That is what was fun about it. It was just natural. I started climbing outside and being outside just felt amazing. I've always liked nature, and we used to go hiking all the time with my parents.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Having dominated the youth comps in 2019, in 2020, aged 15, she focused again on rock where highlights included the first ascents of <a href="/climb/2268/satan-i-helvete-(bas)" rel="noopener noreferrer">Satan i Helvete (Bas)</a> (8B+) and <a href="/climb/8054/panonoramix-et-les-cyclopes" rel="noopener noreferrer">Panonoramix et les Cyclopes</a> (8c). The following year, the focus returned to comps, placing second in two boulder world cups, but she still found time to make a rapid repeat of <a href="/climb/2150/super-tanker" rel="noopener noreferrer">Super Tanker</a> (8B+). </p>
<p>Over the next five years Bertone racked up over a dozen IFSC podium finishes, with her first win in Prague in 2023. In 2024 she made the finals of the Paris Olympics, placing 8th. In 2026 she won the inaugural Pro Climbing League bouldering event in London.</p>
<p>Her younger brother <a href="/climber/1648/max-bertone" rel="noopener noreferrer">Max Bertone</a> is also a notable comp and outdoor climber.</p>

Before
<p>Oriane Bertone is one of the most successful comp climbers of the 2020s. She was also a Bleausard child prodigy, ticking many of the forest’s hard classics. </p>
<p>Bertone was born on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When you are a child, you just want to climb everywhere in trees and walls. That is what was fun about it. It was just natural. I started climbing outside and being outside just felt amazing. I've always liked nature, and we used to go hiking all the time with my parents.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Having dominated the youth comps in 2019, in 2020 she focused again on rock where highlights included the first ascent of <a href="/climb/2268/satan-i-helvete-(bas)" rel="noopener noreferrer">Satan i Helvete (Bas)</a> (8B+), aged 15. The following year, the focus returned to comps, placing second in two boulder world cups, but she found time to make a rapid repeat of <a href="/climb/2150/super-tanker" rel="noopener noreferrer">Super Tanker</a> (8B+). </p>
<p>Over the next five years a Bertone racked up over a dozen IFSC podium finishes, with her first win in 2023. </p>
