What about you ?

Born and raised in flat country Belgium, I guess I wasn’t meant to be a rock climber. Usually people think I am either crazy or really lucky. It’s probably a bit of both. I am barely ever in my country and always gone to target some climbing destination around the world. My home is my van. My wife is my mandolin. I am doing what love and committed everything to be able to live fully my passion for rock-climbing. Whether it’s a one move boulder problem, a big wall in alpine environment or a fine tune on my mandolin it’s the same. It’s rock and I love it all.

What about Julbo ?

When I climbed in Pakistan 3 years ago, I passed by some small mountain villages that are extremely remote. They live totally in autonomy and have barely any connection with our world. When I came into these villages I was expecting people to ask us for money or for us to buy stuff. Intstead even though they had barely anything, we were blown away by their generosity and kindness. It really changed my way of looking at our modern world.
