The Alpinist

Director

Running Time

If you enjoy palm-moistening films in the Free Solo vein that depict brave and/or foolhardy climbers placing themselves in peril, you’ll lap up this new documentary about 23-year-old Marc-André Leclerc.

With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, the nomadic, publicity shy young Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. The Alpinist follows him as he embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing.
