Mélissa Le Nevé (born July 8, 1989) is a French professional rock climber specialising in sport climbing and bouldering.[1]
Early life
Le Nevé grew up in the Vosges, and began climbing at age 15, at a gym near Bordeaux.
Climbing career
Le Nevé focused her competition climbing career in the areas of bouldering. Le Nevé was the French women's bouldering champion in 2010 and 2013, placed fourth in the 2011 IFSC Bouldering World Cup overall standings, and placed 2nd at individual IFSC World Cup events in Slovenia (2013), Switzerland (2016), and Japan (2016).[1][2][3] She retired from competitive climbing in 2016, after finishing third in that year's IFSC Bouldering World Cup.[4][5]
In 2015, she became the first woman to climb a set of boulders in Fontainebleau called the "Big Five", one of which – Atrésie – is rated 8A (V11).[6] In December 2016, she climbed an 8B (V13) boulder in Fontainebleau, La Cicatrice de L'Ohm.[7] In 2017, she climbed the 8B+ (V14) problen, Mécanique élémentaire, at Fontainebleau.[8]
Le Nevé has also climbed some of the hardest outdoor sport climbs. In 2014, she made the first female ascent of Wallstreet, an 8c (5.14b) sport climbing route in the Frankenjura.[9] In April 2020, she made the first female ascent of Wolfgang Güllich's iconic route Action Directe (XI, 9a) in Frankenjura.[10]
Personal life
She lives in Fontainebleau.[1][11]
