Hello!
Welcome to my website!
For me, climbing is about sharing good times with friends and exploring
beautiful places on this Earth. It’s about learning and pushing
the limitations of our minds and our bodies. Beyond the feats you’ll
read about, what I want to share with you here is my love and passion
for the spirit of climbing.
Since I started climbing in 1996, climbing has become the center point
of my life. My interest and focus have developed over the years in a way
that has let me evolve and grow as a person. And more than anything, I’m
still having so much fun climbing and discovering new things.
Take your time to visit my website, enjoy my stories, articles, pictures
and videos.
I hope this will give you a little boost of motivation as you, too, prepare
to follow your dreams and live your passion.

Nico Favresse and Seán Villanueva spent four months in fall 2008 traveling western North America (the pair are from Belgium) with their climbing gear, a mandolin, a tin whistle and a penchant for hitchhiking. From Squamish to the Bugaboos to Yosemite to Indian Creek they did bold repeats, set new routes and played many a jam session along the way. check out the
film about their trip.
