140 meters high, 33 floors and 768 steps in total.
Aurélien Fontenoy won his funny bet this Sunday by climbing the Trinity Tower in La Défense using his mountain bike.
The three-time mountain bike trial world champion took a little over half an hour to meet his challenge using a 15-kilo mount that had to be propelled from march to march until the Mountain peak.

Acrobat on two wheels, the brother of the sailor Maud Fontenoy whom the French were able to discover during his visit to the show “Ninja Warrior”, swallowed the repetitive and monotonous course without failing.
The last minutes of the ascent outdoors, on installations made slippery by the cold and the snowfall that fell on the Paris region on Saturday, prompted him to redouble his vigilance.
A feat that the new brand ambassador Abus, partner of this event, achieved by setting foot on the ground.

Noa, a young Savoyard, was able to meet his hero
The record is not approved by the Guinness World Record, this small temporary weakness did not have any consequence on this challenge which was followed by one person in particular.
The 31-year-old native of Longjumeau fought for a good cause in partnership with the association Rêves, which allows seriously ill children to make their dreams come true.
Noa, a 13-year-old Savoyard, fan of Aurélien Fontenoy, was able to follow his hero's challenge on the spot by taking a getaway to Paris with his parents.
