Christophe Laumone - I started climbing at the beginning of the 80s with the fervent ardor of wanting to progress and confront myself with all these cliff routes and all these blocks which, at that time, made me dream. There were still no established structures for training; you had to go climb and train on the rock to progress. This constraint made me love this singular relationship with the natural and mineral environment, and it is also one of the reasons that led me to share my knowledge and my experience over my rocky progressions. The chance of this progression meant that throughout the 90s, it led me to open and repeat blocks and cliff routes whose difficulties were those of the highest level of the time and gave me the opportunity to collaborate with different brands of climbing equipment. At the same time, I have always taught climbing, since my beginnings as a confirmed climber. My experience of almost 36 years as a climbing instructor has given me the opportunity to work with all audiences: From children to adults, in schools, leisure centers, training of sports educators, climbing clubs, schools, people with disabilities, individuals or people in social difficulty. Both in high cliffs of several lengths and in bouldering, in the climbing gym as a competition opener, trainer or initiator of opening projects and private lessons. As an employee or self-employed. A long experience in learning to climb which has given me the ability to adapt quickly and more effectively, over the years, to ever-changing expectations, profiles and challenges. I have always prioritized in my classes, the technical and gestural progression more than the purely physical aspect. It is this base that allows you to climb for a long time with pleasure whatever your level, but it is also the one that allows you to lean on sustainably to progress throughout your life as a climber. www.christophelaumone.com
