Marc-André Leclerc escala sozinho, longe dos holofotes. Em penhascos remotos, o canadense de alma livre de 23 anos faz uma das escaladas solo mais ousadas da história. Ainda assim, atrai pouca atenção. Sem câmeras, sem corda e sem margem para erro, a abordagem de Leclerc é a essência da aventura solo. Nômade e avesso à publicidade, ele não tem telefone nem carro, e reluta em deixar que uma equipe registre sua visão pura do alpinismo. O cinegrafista veterano Peter Mortimer (THE DAWN WALL) começa a fazer um filme sobre Leclerc, mas não consegue acompanhar seu esquivo protagonista. Então, Leclerc embarca numa aventura histórica na Patagônia, que redefinirá o que é possível em escalada solo.

Will Gadd
It’s a route that you cannot climb in summer and that you don’t really want to climb in winter: Helmcken Falls. But ice-climber Will Gadd knows that the technically challenging mixed route on the rear wall of the 141-metre waterfall can only be mastered at sub-zero temperatures, because that’s when the loose rock is literally frozen up by the spray. However, what works for the route doesn’t necessarily help the athlete. The centimetre-thick layer of ice which Will has to remove from his safety rope at regular intervals doesn’t really make it easier for him to warm up to the route.
