RICHARD MILLE WELCOMES ITS FIRST MOUNTAINEER INTO THE FAMILY: CHARLES DUBOULOZ. DUBOULOZ IS QUICKLY ESTABLISHING HIMSELF AS A RISING STAR IN WHAT IS RIGHTLY KNOWN AS “ALPINISM” IN HIS HOME CUNTRY OF FRANCE. THE CLIMBER HAS SCALED HEIGHTS BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND ABROAD, INCLUDING BRAND-NEW ROUTES IN REMOTE LOCALES LIKE THE NEPALESE HIMALAYAS. 

He garnered considerable media attention when he conquered the first solo ascent and first winter solo ascent of Rolling Stones on the North Face of the Grandes Jorasses in the Mont Blanc Massif in January 2022. Dubouloz struggled alone against rock and ice for 6 days on a record solo climb while dangling precariously on the hazardous North face in minus 20-degree weather.
