Arctic Dreams - widescreen







four very excited South Africans and one grumpy Scottish sea dog set sail for the adventure of their lives. After crossing the Atlantic from Scotland, the team did several big wall climbs on the west coast of Greenland and north coast of Baffin Island. The most notable ascent was Improbability Drive on Impossible Wall in Greenland, a new free route that took nine days of continuous living on the wall to complete.

The team then spent another 3 months on Dodo's Delight (their 33ft fiberglass sailboat) winding their way through the Arctic islands of Northern Canada to complete the Northwest Passage to Alaska.

The project is sponsored by First Ascent Clothing, Beal, Black Diamond and Saltic, Mountain Club of South Africa, Gina Watkins Memorial Trust, Shipton Tillman Goretex Award, Clif Bar, Vega Products and Five Ten.

A l'assaut de la tour Eiffel - Alain Pol - 1947











Extrait de "A l'assaut de la tour Eiffel" - un documentaire de Alain Pol

Résumé :
Les quatre alpinistes Pierre Allain, Jacques Poincenot, Guy Poulet et René Ferlet escaladent la tour Eiffel en 1947. Formant deux cordées, ils débutent l'assaut de la structure métallique du monument public. L'ascension, supposée illégale par un agent de police, se transforme en course-poursuite... Alain Pol filme les grimpeurs allant au bout de leur sport : ils atteignent la hampe du drapeau, redescendent en rappel, puis se rafraîchissent dans la Seine, alors qu'en fin de scénario le gendarme est embarqué par le fourgon de l'asile de Charenton qu'il a lui même demandé pour les "fous de la tour Eiffel".
