Deepfreeze: Winter Ascent of the Walker Directissime | Extreme Alpine Climbing Documentary

One of the hardest alpine routes ever climbed… attempted in the depths of winter. Deepfreeze – Directissime Walker tells the gripping story of three elite French mountaineers attempting a historic climb on the legendary north face of the Grandes Jorasses. In 1986, climbers Patrick Gabarrou and Hervé Bouvard opened the Walker Directissime, an incredibly difficult line rising 1,200 meters up one of the most intimidating alpine walls in the world. For 37 years, no one attempted this masterpiece of extreme climbing. Then in February 2023, three French alpinists — Charles Dubouloz, Symon Welfringer, and Clovis Paulin — set out to achieve something extraordinary: • the first winter ascent • and an attempt to free climb the route. For five days they battle brutal cold, exposure, and exhaustion on one of the most demanding north faces in the Alps — a place climbers often call a giant freezer. Deepfreeze captures the intensity, commitment, and beauty of modern alpinism at its highest level. ? Toison d’Or – Les Écrans de l’Aventure (2023) ?
