Catherine Destivelle is recognised and admired as the most exciting and daring female mountaineer in the world today. Her accomplishments as a solo climber in scaling the most difficult and dangerous peaks in the world of mountaineering without the use of safety ropes support or back-up is now legendary.
Catherine’s talent for climbing alone and unsupported is simply awesome. She has succeeded in scaling some of the most difficult ascents never before accomplished by a female climber. In the winter of 1992 she climbed the north face of the Eiger. In the same year she scaled Latok, 7,200 metres, in the Himalayas. In 1993 she climbed a new route on the south face of Annapurna, and in 1994 reached the summit of Xixapangma via the south face at 8,030 metres.
This extraordinary brave young woman is also an accomplished speaker in both French and English. She often arrives for a presentation in full climbing regalia, challenging and inspiring an audience to re-focus their goals to achieve success. A key theme which she incorporates is the will-power and belief to succeed.
