Laura Pineau, known in the climbing world as Mademoiselle Fissure, is steadily making her mark in the world of trad climbing. Drawn to crack systems and adventurous lines, she’s built a quiet reputation for tackling some of the sport’s most classic and challenging routes. From making the second female ascent of Greenspit (8b trad) to setting the women’s speed record on Colorado’s Naked Edge, Laura approaches each climb with focus, care, and deep respect for the craft.

Most recently, she was part of the first all-women team to complete the Yosemite Triple Crown in under 24 hours — linking three major walls in a single push. For Laura, climbing is as much about learning and connecting as it is about pushing limits. Guided by mentorship, curiosity, and a love for the process, she’s helping to shape a more open and inclusive future for the sport.
