From 1860 to the present day, the alpinists passion for the peaks remains unchanged. This short documentary mirrors the historic legacy of the Simond family with the present-day achievements of pioneering mountain climbers François Marsigny, Annabelle Bouchardon, and Benjamin Védrines. Bound by the same devotion to the mountains, they venture onto the majestic North Ridge of the Dent du Géant in Chamonix, the birthplace of alpinism. Through their vertical journey, they reveal the essence of the “esprit de cordée”, a powerful philosophy. “You feel the call of the summits. It sounds trivial to say that, but it’s something visceral. You realize that the flame is exactly the same; there is still this passion driving mountaineers, no matter the generation.” – François Marsigny
