Overview
Watching Solenne Piret climb is almost like witnessing magic. You wonder how she will get through, and then, with a fluid, effortless motion, she progresses up the wall. Born without a right hand, Solenne has always found her own path on the wall. A four-time world champion, she now takes on a new challenge: leading the legendary Grand Capucin—one of Mont Blanc’s most iconic spires—while placing her own traditional protections. But despite intense training, doubts linger: this time, did she aim too high?
