Bassa hasn't been on the competition circuit very long. Yet, this young men with unbelievable physical qualities has promised himself that « one day I'll be on an international climbing podium » Bassa discovered climbing through the interschools competitions aged 15. Sporty by nature he'd already tried his hand at a few other disciplines beforehand. But he was immediately attracted by the variety and quality of this new sport. Since then, climbing has gradually taken over his life : on the leisure side of course with his time-consuming training schedule, and professionally as Bassa was recently appointed as Manager of the MurMur indoor climbing wall at Issy les Moulineaux (just south of Paris). He's hooked, and he's one to watch !
