Sebastien

Originally from Haute-Savoie, Seb has been passionate about sports since a very young age. He practiced many outdoor sports before falling in love with climbing around the age of 20. After many years of practice, he finally decided to obtain a state-certified climbing instructor qualification. This activity became more than a passion; it's a way of life for him. Living in the Hautes-Alpes since 2015, he spends his time between Céüse, Orpierre, the Verdon Gorge, and other legendary climbing spots in France.


Today, beyond the physical and technical aspects of climbing, he guides climbers in their mental development and confidence building. Climbing is a vertical activity where mental strength plays a crucial role. The fear of falling is too often the biggest obstacle to progress, which is why he designs specific training sessions to help climbers break down their own mental barriers.
