A portrait of Marc-André Leclerc, a sweet but audacious and fearless solo climber whom the film-makers can’t always get close to
This documentary about Canadian climber Marc-André Leclerc, chockful of nerve-shredding footage, is most certainly not a film for anyone who gets sympathetic vertigo from watching people near precipices. Presumably it was shot by drones as much of it features Lerclerc literally hanging by his fingernails off mountains while soloing – in other words, climbing without a partner, or ropes, or pretty much any safety device at all. As extreme sports go, it’s about as extreme as you can get.
