Marcel Remy, father of the famous climbers Yves and Claude Remy, has climbed the first pitch (5c) of the route La Guêpe in Saint Loup. The second pitch (6a) still resisted the 96 year old climber. But he wants to return.
Given the level of difficulty, today's announcement is not spectacular. However, the 96-year-old Swiss is behind the tour of the first pitch of the Route La Guêpe Marcel Remy, After he already caused a sensation two years ago with the ascent of a multi-pitch route, so he is making waves again with his most recent ascent. He doesn't let the fact that he couldn't score the second pitch sit on himself: "I will train more in the hall and return."
We are looking forward to the sequel and say: Chapeau!
