As part of the concept “A Mont-Blanc for Marfan”, the members of the Delaf'Outdoor team have set themselves the objective of climb and descend the roof of Europe, i.e. 4,810 m of positive altitude difference and 4,810 m of negative altitude difference in less than 15 hours, on the Calvary stairs of Figeac. This solidarity challenge will take place this Saturday, November 23, 2024 between 5 a.m. and 8 p.m.

This is not the first of this type for Team Delaf'Outdoor, which had climbed the equivalent of Everest on the Grand Escalier of Rocamadour just 6 months ago…

A solidarity challenge in Figeac

In addition to the sporting and unusual side of this challenge, the six participants of the Delaf'Outdoor team are committed to the Marfan association, a rare genetic disease, to communicate to the public beautiful values ​​of sharing and solidarity.

The key word of this day, as of the team, is conviviality. Anyone who wishes is invited to take the route with members of the team.
