Les prophètes de l’escalade

There’s no stopping the tidal wave of climbing, which became an Olympic discipline in 2020. And France has played a crucial role in making climbing a sport in its own right. That was in the 1980s. A handful of trailblazers developed the sport at the highest level, introduced climbing to schools and towns and revived vertical dance.

Between counter-culture, cult of performance and dream of equality, the film goes to meet these prophets who have shaped climbing today.
