In October 2010, two of France’s finest mountaineers, Christophe Dumarest and Yann Borgnet, fulfilled a mountaineering dream: a back-to-back Alpine-style climb of some of Walter Bonatti’s great routes through the Mont Blanc massif. Dumarest and Borgnet first climbed the north face of the Grandes Jorasses; they then went on to scale the Grand Capucin and the Red Pillar of Brouillard, completing their feat by climbing Mont Blanc. Their descent by paraglider to Chamonix rounded off their achievement with a touch of style. This documentary captures Dumarest and Borgnet on their six-day journey, which they went about cheerfully, calmly and humbly.
