Elisabeth Revol - Mountaineer
Her story
Elisabeth Revol, French Himalayan, but also a fan of multisport raids and endurance activities in the heart of nature. From being a gymnast in my younger years, I moved into climbing and mountaineering while starting my STAPS (sport) studies. In 2006, I joined the national young mountaineer team of the FFCAM (mountain federation) and I started my first long-distance expeditions. I am now a PE teacher in middle school, high school and in parallel Himalayan (on the highest mountains in the world in "light" mode, without oxygen and without a Sherpa, sometimes alone and in the winter ...). For a few years now, I have been passionate about winter conditions at very high altitudes. This environment fills my heart with joy.
My philosophy: to pursue my dreams (winter, at high altitude), ambitious and committed as they may be, with sincerity and humility.
Awards:
I will list big races in the Alps from 2000 to 2008 (north face of Drus, north face of Grandes Jorasses, Droites, Verte, Courtes, Eiger, Matterhorn, Ailefroide, Pelvoux , de la Meije, etc.)
Why did you choose Lyophilise & Co?
“I chose Lyophilise & Co products by looking at freeze-dried dishes without additives, preservatives, etc ... in short, as natural as possible. I also welcomed their gluten-free and lactose-free range, because that follows my personal everyday approach. So I chose Lyophilise & Co above all for the quality of their products.”
Awards
- 2006, I went on my first expedition in Bolivia, to the Illampu peak with a young mountaineering team. I made several breakthroughs there.
- 2007, an expedition to the Pharilapcha mountain, where we reached the top by a route facing south-east.
- 2008, I discovered the world of 8,000m climbs on the Baltoro glacier by visiting Broad Peak, Gasherbrum 1 and Gasherbrum 2. I did the G1 and G2 in a record time of 52:30. Since then my heart has belonged to these very high peaks.
- 2009, ascent alpine-style of the Annapurna Est by joining the Roc Noir on the southern slope, then crossing the long ridge at a very high altitude to the eastern summit.
- 2013, I went on the Nanga Parbat in winter in alpine style, via the virgin Mummery Spur, but conditions did not allow us to exceed 6,500m.
- 2015, I'm back on this mountain, still in alpine style, but this time by a route going up the Diama glacier. We reached an altitude of 7,800m, before turning back because of the very strong gusts of wind. This route remains to be completed!
