The Alpinist (2021)

In the stark solitude of remote alpine landscapes, far removed from the public eye, resides the enigmatic figure of Marc-André Leclerc. At just 23, this free-spirited Canadian climber defies the conventional norms of adventure by making some of the most audacious solo ascents in the annals of climbing history. Unfettered by the glare of cameras, the safety of a rope, or the cushion of a margin for error, Leclerc embodies the raw essence of solo thrill seeking. Living a nomadic existence and shunning publicity, he's a man without a phone or car, a man who guards the purity of his climbing vision with a fierce, quiet intensity. This reluctance to share his world presents a unique challenge for veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer, who embarks on the arduous quest of capturing Leclerc’s elusive spirit on film. As Mortimer grapples with the enigma that is Leclerc, our intrepid climber sets his sights on a historic adventure in the rugged terrains of Patagonia. An adventure that promises to redefine the boundaries of solo climbing. "The Alpinist" is not merely a chronicle of a climber's journey; it's an intimate exploration of a man's relentless pursuit of his purest passion amidst the harshest of elements.

The Alpinist is a documentary movie featuring Marc-André Leclerc and directed by Peter Mortimer.
