From Obsession to Freedom: Marie Gamen’s Story of Recovery Through Climbing

Author(s): Mammut

From running wild in the forests of her childhood to chasing performance in the mountains of Chamonix, Mammut ambassador Marie Gamen’s journey has not been a straight line.

In this intimate film, Marie reflects on her struggle with anorexia, the pressures of performance, and the path that led her back to herself through climbing. What began as a search for results became a search for balance, purpose, and joy.

Today, climbing is more than a sport. It’s where she feels present, connected, and truly alive.

The best seller used by outdoor programs across the country as a resource and textbook. 

Available in paperback, E-book, and now as an Audiobook at Amazon.com
