Towards the summit of KilimanjaroStarting my walk from Arusha, I undertook the ascent of the highest African mountain. I wanted to discover the Tanzanian landscapes. So, I covered 125 km while walking though the savannah, the Tanzanian forest, the Shira Plateau, the alpine desert, the crater in order to arrive to the peak of the old continent at 5,895 meters of altitude. May I tell you that when you reach the summit of Kilimanjaro, you can feel an incredible sensation of liberty. Actually, the whole journey to reach this point is really incredible. In this context, I had to surpass myself. The story |

Here are the reasons and motivations of some. |
François LegrandA feeling of freedom on a cliff Alone on a cliff, François climbs freely in a choreography which pushes him always a little bit higher. With his unique body motion, he executes, with suppleness and strength, skilful movements in order to find his route among the obstacles that the rock presents to him naturally. Cliffs have always been his principal motivation since his childhood. In front of the route and facing the challenge, he searches the solutions and the appropriated moves which will lead to the summit. The immensity of the cliff brings at the same time respect, a challenge and the spirit of surpassing oneself. Honest with himself, it is there that François lives fully his passion as a climber.
