It is a fact that our winters are less and less cold. Therefore it is harder and harder to get the conditions for ice-climbing. Fortunately, man adapts to his environment and makes progress: this is how dry-tooling was born. This movie will make you discover this discipline: its history, its evolution and the current practice. You will also see how much excitement dry tooling can bring. Dry-tooling now allows to free-climb some routes which were impossible to climb without aid in the past.
Six big north faces of the Alps. The film consists of six films: "Die Wand der Wände" (Eger by Robert Jasper, Roger Schäli), "Das letzte Wort hat der Berg" (Matterhorn by Michael Lerjen, Jorge Ackermann), "Selig, wer in Träumen stirbt" (Grandes Jorasses by Felix Berg, Robert Steiner), "Licht und Schatten" (Piz badile by Hansjörg Auer), "Grenzen der Felskletterei" (Drei Zinnen by Alexander Huber) and "Der zerfallene Berg" (Petit Dru by Steve House, Andy Parkin).
Sobre o ar da Suíça, na parede de pedra e gelo conhecida como o Eiger, um escalador americano está a prestes a embarcar na mais perigosa e significante aventura que já empreendeu: uma tentativa para escalar a montanha lendária que levou a vida de seu pai. Contra um fundo de inigualável beleza natural, Os Alpes é uma história de vida e coragem. Uma jornada intensamente pessoal de um homem que tem toda razão para não escalar a Eiger, a montanha da morte, mas ele prefere escalar. Este filme celebra a beleza não superada dos Alpes e o espírito indomável das pessoas que vivem lá.
