Oriane Bertone

Oriane Bertone is a French rock climber, born on 10 March 2005 in Nice and raised on the island of Réunion to an Italian father and a French mother, who specialises in competition climbing and is also noted for her outdoor sport climbing and bouldering. In 2018, at twelve, she became the youngest climber to send a V14 (8B+) boulder problem when she solved Golden Shadow in Rocklands, South Africa, and in 2020 she redpointed an 8c+ route at Saint Léger. She made her World Cup debut in 2021 with a silver medal in Meiringen, won her first World Cup gold in Prague in 2023 ahead of Janja Garnbret, and took silver in bouldering at the 2023 World Championships. She finished eighth in the combined event at the 2024 Summer Olympics, and in 2026 she won the inaugural Pro Climbing League in London. Her younger brother Max Bertone also climbs at World Cup level.
