The aim of the expedition was to raise public awareness to the environment. For this, a return shipping was important and necessary.

Therefore, since 2 months, I rise in high schools, colleges, primary schools, fairs, festivals ... to present the progress of the expedition, and discuss values ​​related to water and waste with the audience. The exchange is friendly and very dynamic ...

The following pictures show the information booth on the expedition to Atlantis Gallery Centre in Nantes. For one week (May 2 to 6), I discussed and presented the ascent of Aconcagua solo with the public. The model attracted all children ... very intrigued. The film of the Ascension was in a loop, and the visuals attracted the eye of the public interest. The week was very positive.

Also, I realize the shipping conferences in different cities in Loire Atlantique. They last about 2 hours with a first dynamic presentation and personal pictures, followed by the film (20 min).

Canaleta an expedition in the last row before the summit. 30 ° slope and 300m in altitude. And a picture of the last crossing before the summit. For these last 150 meters, it is 1:30 at 3 o'clock! Infernal ...

After 8:30 of effort, the summit of Aconcagua is more than 3 meters. "I'm not far away" ...

few minutes later I'm standing on the summit of Aconcagua. I am "exhausted but happy." After five months of preparation and 13 days of climbing, I can finally enjoy the landscape before me. It's beautiful! At 22, alone, I have done my best achievement, and my highest peak. What happiness!

January 25: This morning I made an attempt for the summit. Unfortunately after one hour of walking, I felt bad, nausea and lack of balance, so I decided to go down. I will retry tomorrow! Too bad because it was a perfect weather window! After my attempt, I went back to bed, it was -15 degrees!
14h: "This day is exceptional, I hope to have the same luck tomorrow! "
21h30: the American expedition party at 5am this morning has just returned, only 2 of 5 arrived at the top. They are put out, they do not work, they walk ...
