Being in his own waters for Nicolas Favresse rhymes with unknown, very technical, ethical and crazy adventure. Always accompanied by his acoustic guitar and very often by the other Belgian guru of Big Wall climbing, Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll. Together - masters of the impossible and examples of high standards and high spirit. Knights, in an age that is fast-paced and steeped in statistics and electronics.
Nico (45) has to his credit outstanding achievements in all categories - many big wall premiere and technical climbs in Patagonia - Cerro Torre and Torre del Paine, Greenland, Yosemite, Baffin Land, Norway, Spain, Belgium. Achieved level after work - 9A, on-site - 8B. Recipient of the highest recognition in mountaineering, the American Alpine Association's Golden Piton and Piolet d'or (2011) with Villanueva and friends. Charismatic team player, frequent guest on the world's biggest podiums and festivals in the world of outdoors. True climbing prodigy.
