DETRIE

Specialties

Carbonara pasta! And a little bit of climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing, skiing...

Favorite place

I have a soft spot for the Ecrins, but I sometimes like to go to the Mont Blanc Massif to make sure that the Oisans is still the best! Not forgetting the Espace Comboire.

Best moment

There are quite a few and I hope there'll be lots more… The summit of Carraz II (Peru) after a new routing expedition full of adventure. It was pretty intense… More often than not it's just having a beer with my mates after being in the mountains!

Favorite CD, book, movie

Noir Désir, 'Les Forces de la Montagne', 'Gladiator'.

Favorite gear

Anaconda Cup, Toucan, Spider biners.

Anything else....?
