    Verticale Boréale

    Bruno Peyronnet (2016)

    Beyond the Arctic Circle, time and erosion have sculpted veritable granite cathedrals overlooking immense glacial valleys. A magnificent natural spectacle, but also a major challenge for any climber. This is the adventure that Christophe Dumarest and Antoine Rolle lived on a big wall in Greenland. The Fox Jaws massif dominates a beautiful and isolated fjord there, on the east coast of the island. Verticale Boréale embarks on an unusual journey between sporting adventure, history of friends, and discovery of a once-secret territory, but fully open to exploration tourism.

    Gary Hemming Vod

    Gary Hemming

    Jean Afanassieff (1996)

    he American Alpine climber Gary Hemming was a figure of the 60’s. The story of this out-of-the-common character is closely linked to that of the mountain rescue in Les Drus in 1966, in the mont Blanc range, a rescue he took the initiative for. The press fell on the event and raised Gary Hemming to the status of a national hero. All the papers show on the front page this big young man who looks like a 'beatnik' dressed all anyhow, with a wide smile and long fair hair. From then on, he is nicknamed the beatnik of the summits. In Chamonix he is already known. Gary landed in France in 1960 and while preparing a university degree in Grenoble, he devotes himself to his passion: climbing.

    Le skieur du vide

    Le skieur du vide

    Alain Tixier (1990)

    Pierre Tardivel has been one of the best extreme skiers since the 1990s. A great specialist in impossible descents, he tried the north face of Les Courtes, a 900 m wall with a 65° slope. Turning after turning, Pierre controls his speed, contracts, observes and locates the place where he will pass. Risks of avalanches, falls, the feat is not without risk. Extreme skiing has evolved considerably since its inception: material, style... This archival document pays tribute to the one who has made this sport evolve in the most significant way possible: to achieve impossible feats.

    La Grande Cordée

    La Grande Cordée

    Jean Afanassieff (1997)

    French mountaineering after the war underwent great renewal. In contrast to aristocratic mountaineering with personalities like Henri de Ségogne, and professional mountaineering with guides as the emblematic figures, a new form of amateur mountaineering developed from the Parisian working classes: 'cheeky' mountaineering. The Robert Paragot-Lucien Bérardini team is the most striking illustration of this. Insolent, iconoclastic, anticonformist, they symbolise the post-war climbers from modest backgrounds who, caring nothing for conventions and rules, upset the stereotypes of the 'perfect mountaineer'.
