Oriane Bertone (born March 10, 2005, in Nice) is a French rock climber, who specializes in competition climbing, but is also noted for her sport climbing and her bouldering.
Climbing career
Rock climbing
In 2018, when she was 12 years old, Bertone became the youngest climber to send a V14 (8B+) graded boulder problem when she solved Golden Shadow in Rocklands (South Africa).[1] In 2020, aged 14, she redpointed the sport climbing route, Panonoramix et les cyclopes, in Saint Léger at grade 8c+ (5.14c).
Competition climbing
In 2019, she started competing in international youth competition climbing events where she won multiple gold medals in both competition lead climbing and competition bouldering. In April 2021, Bertone made her senior International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) competition debut at age 16 at the Boulder World Cup in Meiringen, where she advanced to the final and placed second.[2] Bertone qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics by placing first in the European Olympic Qualifier.[3]
