Marcel Remy - 94 years old and back to the summit - FULL 24 MINUTE VERSION

[@Vertikal1000]

More than 10 years ago I saw him climb a 6b at Kalymnos. He didn’t make much fuzz about it before he started, but somehow people realized that this senior was trying a route that was hard for many of the other climbers there. This wasn’t at a hot shot crag 😀 I could see that more and more people followed his progress. He climbed carefully but steadily. For the final half a minute before the crux, the whole crag had stopped up and just cheered him. When he landed the crux move, everyone lost it, in a way I have never seen at crag. A real inspiration to continue climbing as long as possible.

[@FuryRock1001]

Vertikal1000 thanks for sharing. Marcel is so inspiring. We live in the same area and I have been told he is still climbing indoor regularly

[@虎哥-z1u]

D'où tu es... on ne sait... merci Marcel pour l'énergie que tu nous donnes !

[@silverxmaple]

If you started climbing at age 30, remember you still have at least 64 years ahead of you if you want it. Brilliant

[@hutzelmann]

that's me basically...i started at 29... 7a soon!

[@pamirbezsnov1737]

69)) He celebrated 99ys on the rockodrome not far ago. Made 4c

[@philippechassot6666]

J ai grimpé en salle à côté de lui il y a deux mois, dans du 5b en tête à 97 ans, j en avais les larmes aux yeux. Tellement inspirant ! Merci Marcel, notre papy de la grimpe à TOUS !

[@mohamedhaouli4453]

quel plaisir et quel émotion en même temps ! Il me fait pensé à quelqu'un qui m'a appris à grimpé en haute montagne je l'appel mon papy bravo papy et longue vie à vous

[@Wolfdings]

The way how he pulls at 11:18 is amazing! I'd never expected him being born in 1923! My deepest respect!

[@trailangelsofficial]

RIP & climb in heaven Mr. Remy! Such an inspiration!!

[@MUTINYBEAST]

As a 24 year old I have this silly underlining fear that all progress in physical activity stops once you get to a certain age. Films like this keep me ambitious of the future, Marcel you’re an inspiration! Way to show us all that the spirit never dies no matter what happens to the body

[@johns3106]

@MUTINYBEAST. When I was your age, I had a similar feeling...that, if I didn't have great adventures by my early 30's, all would be lost, since my technical abilities in climbing and skiing would "inevitably" decline. Now, at more than twice your age, I am skiing better than I did in my 20's and 30's, and still having fun climbing adventures, as well as making time for other interests I would never have thought of when I was in my 20's!

[@MUTINYBEAST]

John S Glad to hear we share that feeling! Oh man thanks for letting me know.. keeps me stoked for the future when hearing stories like that. Good luck with all your adventures for years to come John! Hopefully I can pass the flame to the next young person!

[@johns3106]

@MUTINYBEAST Glad I could help! Sometimes we all need assistance keeping the future in perspective! I bet if we could get together for an adventure we'd have a lot to talk about! Enjoy each day for what it is...we're in this for the long run!

[@RomtinSaili]

Wonderfull fantastic nice strong man. proud of you. You motivated me. love and peace.

[@sonttran]

I started climbing at 57. Almost quit. After watching this gentleman, I will be back

[@guymartin3737]

MR MARCEL vous etes mon hero 2020 chapeau tres bas .

[@MrSeminole77]

look at the style: deliberate, cautious confirmation of toe/foot and hand holds. Dedicated to the art and not the ego of climbing. Applause!!

[@keithreeder]

Or, he could just be old... (I'm nearly 60 myself - I'm not having a dig at Monsieur Remy (he's heroic), just pointing out that caution and deliberation are a natural by-product of getting older). But that said, you're a pretentious _dick_ if you think this demonstrates dedication "to the art and not the ego of climbing." - you _could not_ have missed the point more.

[@jjeeaannoott]

Un sacré gaillard ce Marcel ! Grimper encore en tête à cet âge-là et bien chapeau !

[@susannanemes6376]

Wanderfull!!! I am 88 and i go skiing and trekking too

[@SmiteKite]

This guy is awesome. Good start of the video where he explains he doesn't understand most old people. I Started 1.5 years ago when I was 34. Now solid on 6a, moving towards 6b, couple of injuries like the A2 pulley partly torn. Lesson: take it slow and no pushing too hard. Make it fun, no pressure and indeed, I see myself doing this still when I'm 70. Awesome vid.

[@majixkai]

22 year old guy: "I'm too tired to go climb today" 94 year old old man: "I'm off to go climb 5c wanna come?"

[@akusantafe]

Started climbing in 1962, so this is inspiring and timely.

[@hayneskordek2862]

Wspaniale że mając tyle lat człowiek jeszcze może się wspinać. W prawdzie już mnie ma takiej mobilności ale super. Nie mogłam oderwać oczu, gość ma 94 lata, szacunek.

[@VerónicaFerreira-z4r]

Extraordinário!Parabéns Marcel! Aos100+e melhor! Vida longa e feliz!

[@keithdouglas9848]

This man would put most of today's youth to shame! Incoryable! Quel incroyable human!! Vous me laisse sans voix!!

[@tflnc]

Not only does he finish climbing that last huge wall, something most gym rats would have a hard time doing, he parasails off the summit with one of his climbing partners. I just kept shaking my head in disbelief. What an incredible person.

[@martinjaverzac1431]

As a climber, I find this mental strenght trully amazing. And even more when we know that during the 1970´s he was delaying his sons doing aid climbing with moutain shoes in Jura (France). Congratulations to this great man (I wish I would be like him when reaching 94 !). A video of his sons in 1977 with him belaying: www.rts.ch/archives/tv/culture/chronique-montagne/8199490-les-freres-remy-.html

[@romoloriboldi878]

I supposed to be at my 70th already an old trailer-alpinist, but Marcel show me the way for the next twenty years....ciao !

[@gratefulfred]

What an inspiration.

[@skydiverc1656]

Wow - very impressive at 94 👍 & what an awesome was to get back down afterwards 😊

[@wimm1392]

An amazing gentleman. Thanks for sharing

[@jeanjacquespeiger4813]

J'ai fait cette voie, il y a une trentaine d'année et j'aimerais la refaire. Je n'ai que 82 ans, je grimpe encore en salle et en falaise surtout bourguignonnes. C'est toujours un réel plaisir de pouvoir escalader, d'être entouré d'amis qui partagent la même passion, pourvu que ça dure comme pour Rémy.

[@Giancarloilpe]

This adventure is amazing. Super motivated, well done

[@stephenthomas5428]

I take my hat off to you sir, you are an inspiration to old codgers like myself to keep doing what we enjoy. Age should not limit our ambition.

[@jorabohem]

I'm pushing 40. Little voice in my head keeps nagging me saying that I'm past my physical peak and should just quit while I'm ahead...before I embarrass myself or become too discouraged by my decline in ability. After seeing this, though, for crying out loud..this man is incredible...and I have NO excuse not to keep going. It's not about looking or being the best. It's about fully embracing this one and only life that you have. Stay in motion. However you can.

[@midi510]

Just don't bother comparing yourself with other people. Create your own goals and terms for accomplishment based on who you want to become. I'm 60 and in 2019, I backcountry skied every week until July 4th including two 3 day tours a 4 day tour skiing peaks nearly 14,000'. Then I mountaineered or ice climbed every week through October. My biggest day hike was 25.5 miles and 8,300' vertical including a 13,000'+ peak. My son and I climbed V-Notch to Polemonium Peak in the Palisades in October. Now that my kids are out of the house, I plan on having a very long and rewarding relationship with the mountains.

[@jedripley3391]

You are an incredible human being Mr. Remy .

[@MASNSEN10]

Je tire mon chapeau avec le plus grand respect à Marcel..Bravo pour votre exploit ! Quant quoi l'âge n'a jamais été un obstacle pour aller affronté la nature et son lithosphère terrestre ( les reliefs).

[@McMikeful]

All the best and I hope I can be as fit as he is at this age. Just mind blowing!!

[@Neblazok]

Superbe film !

[@onlynorth1862]

This is a very good job for Marmot!!

[@1967davidsrebrnik]

I'm 53, last year I broke my knee during a simple hike and today it feels like the Everest walking up one floor up. Chapeau bas Monsieur. By the way if he's 94 his son who's climbing with him must be above 70 years old ?! I remember when I was a teenager going on summer or winter vacation in this swiss village there was this 80 years old man still hiking and skiing.

[@albertcastelloperez]

Vidéo extraordinaire! Il a l'âge de mon père. J'aime beaucoup son regard , sa façon de s'exprimer...ça me remonte le moral, j'en ai besoin ces derniers temps. .. Je ne connais pas cet endroit: Le Miroir de l'Argentine, très beau, drôle comme nom. J'habite en Patagonie.

[@120fornovo]

grande ammirazione, una gran fortuna arrivare a 94 anni in condizioni da ventenne

Marcel, si tu me lis, souviens-toi de nos essais de treuillage en crevasse avec notre Alouette III de REGA Lausanne sur un fameux glacier au Sud de la cabane de Plan Névé ! ...et vous, ses fils, région Jaman, une évacuation au treuil de nuit de vos clients égarés en paroi dans la neige ! A voir ce tournage, je ne peux que vous dire "chapeau", bravo et mes voeux vous accompagnent pour de d'autres belles balades. Amitiés

Inspiring and Marcel should be doing "Ted" talks - if anyone has the authority to speak about "anything is possible" - HE has the authority.

Sí señor. Dónde hay que firma para llegar a su edad en ese estupendo estado.

[@WillN2Go1]

Formidable! At 64 this is inspiring. I'd better stop worrying about being the old geezer at the climbing gym and go sign up.... as soon as the quarantine is lifted. (Maybe I'll spend some of my Trump money purchasing a membership in advance.)

Holy smokes!!
