Luce Douady
The tragic death of a very young French climber reminds us that it is the easy bit which kills you.
Climbing was to be part of the Olympics and the athletes like Luce would amaze.

Luce caught my attention in Vail. She was an unknown, warming up beside me in an energetic floor routine. I was stunned by her energy and focus. She then qualified for finals in her first WC at 15. 1 year on I'm writing about her death. Surreal, huge loss. https://t.co/Pza7kqfPEO
