The name Jean Gounand is legendary among the rock faces of the French and Italian Maritime Alps. Whether through a bold first ascent, an audacious variation, an adjustable wooden wedge, or a simple piton stamped "JG," Jean has left his mark on countless routes. From the Baou de Saint-Jeannet to the Corno Stella and the Cougourde, he knows every line on these iconic peaks. A retired factory worker, he has harbored a lifelong passion for the mountains—one that remains stronger than ever at age 83; he heads out to climb with boundless energy, the same eagerness, and the same sense of wonder. A contemporary and climbing partner of mountaineering greats like Patrick Berhault, he has played an active role in the evolution of rock climbing for over half a century. It was with his characteristic kindness and humility—and eyes sparkling with joy—that he opened the door to his vertical world for us.
