"How it's made?", that is the question which I am asking myself watching every other video on your channel, how it's filmed? OK, operator soloed half of the route parallel to the group. Obviously, but... No hard-breathing sounds, no camera shaking, no accidental frames with operator's skis-boots-limbs, and even ski tracks in some other videos... You must be super fast, swift and strong don't making other members of the party freaking crazy and mad about the process. But then again, if you can move so fast and solo ahead of the group, it must be freezing cold to stop and stay still 2/3/4... times per pitch, keep calm and don't go crazy yourself. Much respect!!!

Je me posais la même question ! Well done ! I can't wait for another video

Hello, From what I know, the movie maker is a Mountain Guide. So we can reasonably assume that he is super fast and super strong. All the best to you all :-) (a French "monchu")

When will we decide that life is in the doing, not watching or talking about ....

Robert, you got the point. But consider people who will never do such things because of their physical or psychological limitations. For these people it is opportunity to see it, experience it in some way. It is like reading a book. On the other hand there are we - climbers. Working somewhere in the office, being mom or dad for the family, having only 20 days of holidays each year and you have to divide it between your passion and and the family. When we were young, students, we could afford to spend 2 months in the mountains, sleeping anywhere, eating anything, living on pennys.Right now TVMountain gives us opportunity to prepare to some climbs at home so we can do almost as many routes in 2 weeks as we did in one month when we had no internet, mobile phones and every attempt was an adventure. For me it helps me to save a lot of time and effort, helps me to prepare better for some routes. If I could ask TVMountain chanel people to have the list or photo of the gear that was used on the route - that would be very helpful when gearing up for the route.

What is the deal with letting the ropes fall into the path of the climbers? Seems like pretty bad rope management.

Les secours en France devraient être facturés, au moins en partie, et payés pour le reste par les assurances individuelles !
