"La Vie au Bout des Doigts" is a documentary film by Jean-Paul Janssen released in 1982, directing Patrick Edlinger totally living his passion, climbing, which he practices here solo ("with bare hands"), it that is, without a rope or any kind of insurance. The film begins with a session of solo sea crossings on the Piade site near Toulon. In the second part, Patrick Edlinger trains in Buoux before carving a solo route in this now famous climbing site. This mythical film in more than one way is considered the first climbing film, that is to say where climbing is an activity in itself and not a means of preparing for mountaineering. His media success was such that he propelled Patrick Edlinger to the rank of world star, and above all he made climbing known to the general public, and was even nominated for the César for best documentary short film.

Серро Торре - один из самых красивых и неприступных пиков на этой планете, который находится в Патагонии, на границе Аргентины и Чили. Его высота - 3 128 метров. В 1970 году итальянец Чезаре Маестри первым преодолел опасный маршрут. С помощью бензинового компрессора он забил в гранитную стену 340 шлямбурных крючьев и добрался до вершины. За четыре десятилетия навыки и техническое оснащение альпинистов усовершенствовались. 19-летний вундеркинд Дэвид Лама и его напарник Дэниэль Штойрер собираются повторить маршрут Чезаре Маестри, не используя при восхождении специальных приспособлений.
