Why we love it

The world knows that Chamonix, France, is an iconic climbing destination on paper, but the cinematography and clever narration in this film serve as great reminders as to why.

Narrator Nathan Cooper’s opening line perfectly sums up why we love this film; “Ah, good ol’ rock climbing…the hardest possible way to get somewhere you have no business being in the first place”. Who hasn’t found themselves contemplating the same thing mid-route at least once before? The film follows Bulgarian climber Emiliyan Kolevski & French climber & mountaineer Victor Varoshkin as they establish a new route on the Gendarme des Cosmiques, with endearing and oftentimes entertaining commentary, and brilliant cinematography and sound design, making this film a great watch for climbers and non-climbers alike.
