Visually-impaired athlete defies "handicap" to focus on French mountain summits

Description

Whether walking, climbing or pedalling in his native Pyrenees, visually-impaired athlete David Labarre keeps his objective of climbing and cycling to the summits of three mountain passes completely in focus. Having conquered Mont Blanc in the summer of 2019, in June 2021 Labarre aims to reach three Pyrenean summits (Vignemale, Midi d'Ossau and a third one on the Spanish side).
