Video: Sébastien Bouin climbing Biographie at Céüse

In June this year Sébastien Bouin repeated one of the most famous sport climbs in the world, Biographie at Céüse in France. Bolted by Jean-Christophe Lafaille in the 1990's, it was climbed to circa halfway by Arnaud Petit in 1996, while the entire line was freed in 2001 by Chris Sharma.

Even today the route exerts an almost venerable attraction and it certainly couldn’t be missing from Seb's Vintage Rock Tour, with which the 27-year-old is exploring some of his country’s most representative sport climbs established during the 80s and 90s. Featuring two of the crag’s locals, Arnaud Petit and Sylvain Millet, the video explores the cliff once dubbed Patrick Edlinger's secret garden.
