In March 2016, we were with Ueli Steck, Mathieu Maynadier and Jérôme Para in Les Drus, “North Couloir Direct” (VI, Al 6+, M8, 800m). In location like Les Drus, you are guaranteed to get a lot of excellent alpine climbing footage. And as a filmmaker, it's a always frustrating to only use a few seconds of footage from such a great shoot. That's why we're releasing this series of rough cuts. Turn up the volume, relax, and enjoy some beautiful climbs. Film directed by Guillaume Broust. Camera work by Bertrand Delapierre. Music by Zikali “Lost in Fog”.
