Overview

This documentary by Maurice Rebeix—conceived by Patrick Edlinger and released by the French climbing magazine *Roc'n Wall*—features several elite climbers tackling difficult routes in the Verdon Gorge. In the first part of the film, Patrick Edlinger teams up with Patrick Berhault and meets up with climbers such as Cécile Martha, Olivier Fourbet, Axel Franco, Martina Polackova, Laurent Paoletti, and Frédéric Devoulet. The film marks the 30th anniversary of the first route established in the Verdon in 1968—a location that has since become a premier destination for French climbing.
