Pierre 'Pitou' Rivard


The youngest bro of the Rivard family. He loves to set hard boulder problems in very different styles : some with imbalanced moves, others with weird jamming techniques. You have to be wide awake if you want to pass the test of the Pitou-verture ... But don't panic ! He also loves setting smooth moves where you can softly reach the top Ps : don't play reggaeton while he's setting or you will awaken his Spanish roots!
