In the autumn of 2008, from the village of La Grave, Aymeric Clouet and Christophe Dumarest decide to follow the climb of eight North faces of the Massif des Ecrins on an imaginary route from north to south, which they call Le Méridien des Écrins. More than 12 days running along the steep ridges, the steep couloirs, and the vertiginous walls of this sumptuous massif lead them to the brink of exhaustion and allow us to discover their personalities, their vision of the mountain, their sensitivity, and to understand how an effective rope team often compared to the legendary Lachenal-Terray works.
