Mont Aiguille mon amour
Blockbuster
Movie of the year 1997
Mont Aiguille (French name meaning Mount Needle) dominates with its
2087-meters high the valley of Triève, Vercors massif, France.
This limestone peak with its singular shape and the reputation of being
inaccessible has fired men's imaginations for many millennia. Even today,
its summit only accessible by climbing routes perpetuates the mystery
of this mountain.
Four friends are planning the 250-meters ascent of the northwest face
of Mont Aiguille by the classic route. Thierry and Alain have been climbing
partners for many years and reached the top of numerous majestic summits
throughout the world. Valérie and Laurent have less experience,
but love the adrenaline that comes from the great climbing routes.
The film follows step by step their adventure from the training to the final push: indoor climbing walls, bouldering and natural outdoor sites. The four companions share their moments of joy, doubt and difficulty and discover the fragility of their condition facing the mountain and its whims.
