France
Color
93 min

Gaston Rebuffat accompanied by Maurie Baquet, climb on the most difficult faces of the alps. This is Rebuffat's thrid film, the first one in color, with wich he won the Grand Prix in the Trento Festival. In the film, Rebuffat exposes his personal vision on how he conceives mountaineering. The film starts going back to his origins and we see him climbing in his homeland, Les Calanques. Then, in Chamonix, Rebuffat meets Maurice Baquet, and teaches him on the climbing techniques on different terrains. We follow them in the most beautiful passages of the north faces of the Piz Badile, Les Grandes Jorasses, the Cima Grande of Lavaredo, the Eiger and the Matterhorn. Their journey ends with the summit of Mont Blanc by the ridge of Peuterey.
