In summer 2022 Christophe Dumarest & Symon Welfringer headed to the Grand Capucin in the Mont Blanc massif in order to repeat Voie Petit, the 450m multipitch established in 1997 by Arnaud Petit and Stéphanie Bodet together with Pascal Gaudin and Jean-Paul Petit. The exceptional route was freed in 2005 by Germany’s Alexander Huber with difficulties in the region of 8a+/8b. Here's Marc Daviet's great video of the repeat.
