“June 1986, Patrick Gabarrou and Hervé Bouvard opened the Directissime de la Walker at Grandes Jorasses. A masterpiece of difficulty on a steep 1200 metre section of the north face that no-one has repeated over the last 37 years.
In February 2023, three French alpinists attempted to climb this free climb, but also in winter. This is the story of Charles Dubouloz, Symon Welfringer and Clovis Paulin, who will spend five days in this giant deep freeze!”
