The Alpinist

A film I'm looking forward to seeing is a documentary about Marc-André Leclerc, a Canadian rock climber and alpinist. He and his climbing partner disappeared on a climb in 2018, their boies never found.

When I was a teen, my high school let us all go on a rock climbing trip in the Desolation Wilderness area, if I remember correctly. Some friends and I opted out of the actual rock climbing part (too scary) and took LSD instead. But there is something fascinating about mountain climbing, and I've seen many of the movies about it, good and bad, from The Eiger Sanction to Everest.
