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.

Bad weather in the Bugaboos... What to do to bring back the sunshine ?

21 août 2008

It’s raining and snowing hard outside our tent.... little lakes are being fired down from the sky, days without end... there’s only one way to bring the sun back... you know it needs to be done...

here is just a small sample video from hours and hours of jamming.



Nico does the second ascent of the Cobra Crack, 5-14 trad, Squamish, Canada

31 juillet 2008
Friday july 18, Nicolas Favresse managed the first repeat of the much-tried Cobra crack (placing the gear on lead.). After one brief attempt three years earlier, Nico spent eight days on the route this summer, making 15 attempts in all. The climb is about 30 meter long with its crux part consisting of a 10meter perfect finger crack slicing up the middle of a waving overhanging headwall at the Cirque of the Uncrackables on the Chief’s Backside.

First repeat of “Greenspit”, 8b+ traditional roof crack in val de l’Orco, North Italy.

mai 2008
Nicolas Favresse repeats “Greenspit” a contender for the hardest trad crack in Europe. At the end of two days of effort Nico managed to redpoint the route on his 7th try placing the protection on the send. The route consisted on a 12-meter roof crack with lots of tricky crack climbing moves mixing hand, fists and finger jams.
