very cool old footage. although none of this is forgotten, these are all generally the same techniques we use today, except we use modern gear. and climbers very much have an appreciation for our forebears and the people who invented these systems and popularized them and made them safe.
The great Gaston Rebufat, really young, and in his best!! 👏👏👏👏
This is what my dreams looked like when I imagined climbing back in '86 when I began. Only had the library to wet your appetite, sure would have loved to have seen something like this. These were truly the 'hard men' back then. Amazing footage-loved it. Thanks for sharing. cheers
Thanks for watching, cheers!
Grew up reading Gaston Rebuffat's classic books.
Me too. Also remember reading a a book by Alan Blackshaw. In the late 60s and early 70s my big brother was an avid alpinist ...not just a gymnastic "rock monkey". He traveled and climbed rock, snow, and ice in North America, the UK, and Europe. Sea cliffs too. Got married and turned down a position on a Himalayan expedition. Me, I was always a little afraid of heights so I took up hang gliding instead. More fun.
I used to climb buildings, along with several friends. Nothing actually difficult; it was just something to do. I love the way the last guy hung from the ropes like it was no big deal, and he trusted his gear so completely. The method of climbing that ice wall was interesting, too. I wouldn't have thought that jamming the handle in like that would be enough to keep you standing there, but it seems to work easily.
Truly different back then
Wouldn’t say forgotten. The broader community has kinda moved past aid climbing, cause with modern gear almost everything is climbable this way, which kinda goes besides the point. But people still do it
When my brother used to drag me up climbs in the 60s ...mostly as his second, to belay him, he still used those kind of "etriers" (Sp?) or little stirrup ladders on overhangs. Man they were hard to manage. At least for me! Good thing modern technique and equipment has moved beyond those!!!

Une preuve de la façon dont les "Majors" US respectent le droit d'auteur !!!
I saw this film back in the 1960's. Got me into climbing.
That old school flat footed French ice climbing technique is a pleasure to watch..

J'ai tout appris de cet homme (Gaston Rebuffat) j'ai lu certains de ses livres. Je suis né quand ce documentaire a été tourné. Maintenant vieillissant je ne pratique plus que le "soft hiking" Mais mon amour pour la montagne est intact. Merci de réveiller des souvenirs ! Merci pour ces images !
Excellent!! The true origins of classic alpinism
