I really didn’t expect this today.

13 months ago, I broke my spine. Since then, I’ve just been figuring out what I can still do, adapting my climbing and enjoying every little step forward.

Today was a pretty big one.

Las Gallinas — 8a 🔥

My first steps in a 8a since the accident.

It used to be just another grade.

Today this one felt pretty good 😜🙏

A huge thanks to Daniel from for his support, always 🙏

A few photos from this week!

“Make 6a Your Comfort Zone” course actually became pretty comfortable at lead climbing too 😉

Such a fun week with Stacey, Ed, Joel, Max, Mate, Jerome & Allan. Lots of climbing, lots of progress and most of all, really good energy!

And having Sergi coaching with me just makes everything better 😄

Really loved sharing these days on the rock with all of you ❤️-

One-hand climbing is one of my favorite drills.

The whole point is to take one hand away so you’re forced to find your balance, use your feet and move your body instead of just pulling.

You can see Ed and Joel in the background giving it a go… and Stacey happily climbing with both hands while I’m explaining the drill 😂

She saw the video afterwards and was laughing that she’d completely ruined my demonstration.

Don’t worry Stacey, you will have more opportunities to practice 😉💪

Day 2 with you three and the group I’m loving this week 😄

Meet this week’s crew 👋 (the best pic is at the end 😉)

I’m always excited to meet new people in the group, and really happy to see familiar faces coming back.

Pierre and Sophie have been climbing with us for years now, both in Kalymnos and the Verdon. They’re also partly responsible for our T-shirts! They kept telling us we should make some, and then helped us choose the design

Katerina is back for the second year in a row, exactly the same week — but this time to work on her lead climbing. We also got to see her in Paris at the Salon de l’Escalade this winter!

Then we have some new faces.

Jerome is here on a family holiday and is joining us for a few days to work on his technique.

Keith is spending some time working remotely from Kalymnos and managed to free up three days to climb with us.

And Merit came to Kalymnos on her own, looking for a group to climb with for a few days, so she joined us too.

I’m also really happy to be coaching this week with Sergi. We have a lot of fun working together, and he’s a great coach and super professional. Always a pleasure to share these weeks together!

Let’s see what the rest of the week brings! 😄🧗

August felt like the beginning of a new chapter.
It’s been a year since my accident, and I think this month I really realized how far I’ve come… but also started thinking a lot about what I want next.

This month was about family time, friends at home, seeing some of my Kalymnos students again at the gym, training, working on my tutorials and slowly getting new projects ready.

And now I’m back on Kalymnos, ready for the fall season 😎💙

It feels a bit like replaying the fall season I missed last year somehow. And I’m really excited about it.

A lot has changed, but I think I’m more motivated than ever for what’s next.

Hope to see you soon!

Simon

Another great week on the island ☀️🧗‍♂️

I put 20 slides because I couldn't choose and I wanted to show the climb but also the connection between the climbers in the group and everything around the course.

Could you see yourself there? 👀

Our fall climbing season is about to start, and we still have a few spots left if you feel like joining us 💙

👉If you send me a DM I'll give you all info

I’m really touched by all the support on my last post 💙 So I wanted to share a little personal update.

It’s been a year since my accident, and it’s pretty crazy to think about where I was then and where I am now.

But mostly, I’m thinking about what’s next 😎

Back to Kalymnos soon, coaching and climbing again… but also working on some new projects.

A lot of you have asked me to share more about the way I coach and my climbing method, so I think it’s time to bring some of it online too.

Really excited to see where this goes 💙
