I had a great time climbing with Sébastien. I changed the stay due to the weather and was able to find dry rock in rainy weather. Throughout the stay, Sébastien not only offered me numerous climbs, but also helped me improve my skills.
A talented, pleasant and direct guide with whom we are happy to share our passion for the mountains. Thanks, Sebastian!
