Subject: 40 years ago two mountaineering stars opened up a legendary route on the north face of the “Clocher du Portalet”. Armed with an array of pitons and stirrups, it was the apogee of artificial climbing. 40 years later, two young climbers stand at the foot of the same face with a single objective: to "liberate" it.
