Mountaineering: new exploit by Benjamin Védrines in the Drus

Benjamin Védrines made a solo ascent of the Drus, climbing its 2,000 meters by the lower route, the most difficult, in five days. Between extreme conditions and balanced bivouacs, this feat underlines his courage and his mastery in the face of the challenges of the mountain.

The feat is measured by the size of this legendary wall, 2,000 meters high. In five days, Benjamin Védrines climbed this mountain by the lower route, the most difficult. A feat achieved alone.

The Petit Dru is a granite peak where difficulties follow one after another. A delicate undertaking, a bivouac in balance, and difficult weather conditions, such as waking up in the snow that almost stopped his ascent. Practicing this extreme sport allows him to better understand the difficulties in his daily life.
