Expedition Hoggar 79

Documentary of the 1979 expedition to the Atakor massif (Hoggar desert, Algeria), organized by the Geneva mountaineer Michel Vaucher. The group of climbers carry out the different climbs - nearly 10- with the help of experienced mountaineers Michel Vaucher and Jean-Blaise Fellay. They climb the summit of Adaouda (meaning finger in Tuareg, Tamahak) by several routes. Later, the climbers open a new route on the summits of the southern Tezoulegs. They discover the geological features, including the volcanic origin of the Atakor. Swiss mountaineers also meet the region's nomadic inhabitants, the Tuaregs, even though the latter are settling in the city of Tamanrasset.
