Tristan

Having lived in the Montpellier region for almost 20 years, I am in love with this area whose cliffs are bathed in sunshine all year round. Passionate about climbing and mountain sports, I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for these disciplines as well as my knowledge of the natural environment in which we practice them.


During my coaching days, I seek to share authentic moments while conveying my passion for outdoor sports and the values ​​they promote, such as pushing oneself to the limit, respect and humility.


You will be supervised by a state-certified climbing instructor. Based in the Montpellier region for over 10 years, he knows the cliffs like the back of his hand and will share his passion for climbing with you in a pedagogical way.
