04 Dec Arnaud Petit and trad climbing in Ceuse

When he climbed the classic Céüse route ‘Black Bean’ (8b) using only traditional protection, Arnaud Petit opened the world’s eyes to the potential for trad climbing at this renowned sport crag. Three years on from that game-changing ascent, Arnaud is still leading the charge to attempt Céüse’s climbs on trad gear. In this video, Arnaud succeeds in recruiting US climber Mikey Schaefer to his cause, sending him up a tough but well-protected 7c+.
