Rocky or Icy ascents, not a problem, Sébastien is a seasoned all-season climber.

As a new father, he appreciates even more the obligation we have to future generations, so he decided to put his passion to work for the environment.

With many conquests under his belt; including : Huayna Potosi in Bolivia, Aconcagua in Argentina, and Chimborazo and Cotopaxi in Ecuador, along with countless training sessions in the Adirondack and White mountains, Sébastien is up to the challenge.
