Climbing history

Tribout started climbing at age seven in Fontainebleau, France with his grandfather, a mountaineer, and also joined the youth section of the French Alpine Club. There he met other young climbers such as Catherine Destivelle. In 1982, he climbed his first -graded sport climbing route, Fritz the Cat, at Saussois, and in 1985 climbed his first -graded route, Les braves gens, in the Verdon Gorge.

Between 1986 and 1998, he participated in international competition climbing events, finishing third twice and fourth twice in the final standings of the World Cup. In 2008, aged 47, twelve years after he had last climbed an -graded climb, he climbed two 8c routes.
