After months of planning, training, and talking about it… we’re finally getting ready to go.
In just a few weeks, we’ll begin our expedition toward Mount Everest — the highest point on Earth. It’s hard to describe how it feels. There’s excitement, of course. But also a lot of respect, and a good amount of stress. We know this isn’t just another hike. It’s a real physical, mental, and emotional test. And it’s a journey we want to share — honestly and fully — with everyone following us.
We’re a family: a father and two sons. That’s our team. We’ve trained all over the world for this challenge — in Madagascar, the Andes, the Alps, the US, Nepal. We’ve experienced the beauty and the difficulty of the mountains. And now, the real thing is starting.
What makes this climb special for us isn’t just the Everest itself. It’s the fact that no Malagasy climber has ever reached its summit. For us, this is about representing our island, our identity, and showing that we belong in places where people don’t usually expect us.
We’re not doing this for fame or headlines. We’re doing it because it means something deeply personal. To push ourselves, to connect with each other, to create memories that will last far beyond this expedition.
This website is here so you can follow along. We’ll share regular updates — photos, short videos, journal entries — whenever we have a signal and a bit of energy left. You’ll get to see what the journey really looks like: the highs, the lows, the small victories, and the moments of doubt. No filters.
We hope that by following us, you’ll not only see Everest from a new perspective — but maybe also believe that whatever your own “Everest” is, it’s worth trying to reach it.
Thanks for being with us at the start. Let’s go.
