Not mentioned is that Didier's daughter Cedar is also a crusher, winning the lead event in the Canadian Championships last winter and now in the national team.
Thanks for this, quite the redemption story. Paywalled now but available here of course: https://archive.ph/b4Dzp
(Whilst she's also Didier's daughter, I imagine Cedar had a lot more influence from Thomasina Pidgeon until recently).
Yes. Though that may be a mixed blessing. On the one hand she grew up from birth as a climbing dirtbag, travelling the world to bouldering venues; on the other hand, living in a minivan with your mum cant be easy, and I also recall Thomasina had a major falling out with the Canadian comp establishment at some point, but maybe that isn't quite accurate. A strong/ unusual character, anyway. I very much hope Cedar writes a Katie Brown style autobiography at some point in the future.
