[1] Bouin followed with two other first ascents, the enormous 430-foot (130 m) single-pitch Nordic Marathon 9b/9b+ in Flatanger Municipality (Climbing called it "the biggest single pitch of hard climbing ever done"),[6] and the first 9b+ (5.15c) in North America,[7] Suprême Jumbo Love (a direct start to Chris Sharma's historic 9b route).
[10] Bouin is also regarded for his love of French extreme sport climbing history, and his The Vintage Rock Tour documentary series revisits some of the most important – and controversial – moments in French extreme sport climbing.
"[2] The series came to international prominence in episode 4, when Bouin repeated Fred Rouhling's controversial 1990s routes of Hugh, Akira [fr] and L'autre côté du Ciel.
[11][12][13] In a follow-up series, Hidden Gems, Bouin travels to smaller French crags to meet with local climbers and put up new test-pieces.
[2][3][19] In the same interview, Bouin said he completed his studies and become a fully qualified French state physical education teacher to have a fall-back saying: "There is less pressure knowing I have a career to fall back on in time which means I can enjoy my climbing 100%".
