He was also the youngest climber to free climb The Nose. He was 15 years old…<\/p>\n But accompanied by Jacopo Larcher, he finds himself in the Mecca of French trad climbing, on the magnificent and delicate sandstone of the South.<\/p>\n With his extremely difficult bouldering-style moves above widely spaced nuts, not to mention that hanging pig in the middle of the route, it\u2019s hard to tell if Herson is pushing himself or just having fun (almost) effortlessly.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/connor-herson-bon-voyage.png” title_text=”connor-herson-bon-voyage” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”Merriweather|900|||||||” text_font_size=”16″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n \u00a9Connor Herson \/ Black Diamond<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Check the video here or the following link<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”1200px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/5XaDpF1Jdus?si=1w7IIVWmh90pJ4uK” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The music plays softly, punctuated by the occasional whimper of a dog at the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":296748,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"[et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"7px|||||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" max_width=\"800px\" use_custom_width=\"on\" custom_width_px=\"800\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.5\" text_font_size=\"18px\" hover_enabled=\"0\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"] [dropcap size=big]U[\/dropcap]ne musique lente, quelques g\u00e9missements d'un chien au pied de la falaise et Connor Herson<\/strong> qui, calmement, apprend les mouvements de la voie\u00a0Bon Voyage<\/em>\u00a0\u00e0 Annot, cot\u00e9e 9a (E12) et lib\u00e9r\u00e9e par James Pearson en 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n
