Watch Oriane Bertone Send New V13 at 13 Years Old

Oriane Bertone is one of the strongest young outdoor boulderers these days and she has recently made the first ascent of Le spartiate direct assis in Ravine du Trou at V13.

“May be the hardest thing I have climbed,” she said. “It is the direct variant of Le Spartiate sit V12 which I climbed three years ago.

“It goes straight up from the ramp of slopers with a very hard couple of moves in comparison with the original version on the right. I am very happy about this first ascent.”
