Deep Water Soloing on a Rugged Coastline
Seb Bouin recently dropped a new film featuring rock climbs along the Crozon peninsula
Seb Bouin, one of the world’s most accomplished 5.15 climbers, recently visited the steep cliffs of Pen-Hir on the Crozon peninsula in the southwest of Camaret-sur-Mer, France. The cliffs are up to 70 metres tall.
“What an opportunity to discover a place like this,” said Bouin. “Climbing above the ocean with so much atmosphere is not something I’m used to. I love being able to repeat these historic routes, which by the way, are sometimes tricky, with a rock type dependent on the weather conditions. I even took the opportunity to bolt and free solo a new route in a cave here.”
The area is known by climbers for its five-star psicobloc, sport and trad routes. You can find more info about Pen-Hir here.
