In November 2009, four adventurers (Sam Beaugey, Manu Pellissier, Seb Collomb-Gros and Géraldine Fasnacht) decided to try something never done before: an expedition through Antarctica, this wild frozen land, in order to do all kind of mountain sports: skiing, aid climbing, snow kiting, paragliding and base jumping...

Enjoy !
I am speechless at what they did. Wow.
Live life to the most...I guess you guys have achieved that! great experience and also BIG respect!
Wow that was amazing! Cold never looked so beautiful
10 years in the planning?? Glad it was the epic trip it looked to be!
Superbe : en + là il y a de la neige, de la glace ... L'Antartique ! Magnifiques images :-))
Totally awesome experience and very inspiring, well done you guys :))
I think you catched the mountain soul!
Again, WOW!!!!
No words.....
3:15
ANTARTICA!!!!!
너무 멋집니다. 꼭 해보고 싶은 스릴 체험이군요.
Awesomeness thank you for sharing
In Ethic there are 2 options Complain or Respect but when you complain you should have the knowledge. Have some great times in Mountain our last space of silence. Expedition leader
these people are incredible
The rock on that ridge looks amazing. At first glance you think its going to be featureless granite towers but the sculpting of the rock would make the climbing incredible! Why oh why does it have to be in the most inaccessible place on earth :(
Does the freezing temps have any effect on your parachutes? I would worry about condensation from sweat or body heat re-freezing the parachutes while its still inside the bag.
base jump looks' awesome
What an achievement
Like a baby wood duck jumping out of a tree for the first time
Muy buen video y experiencia
such a cool vid!!!
so nice !!!
Wow. I can't say more. Wow
Great footage BUT at 2:40 they show a bolt placed right beside a big crack. Why??
Very good point, looked like a pretty solid crack to me...
they were leaving fixed lines for a long time. If the wind or rock moved traditional gear it could mean the fixed lines failing while they are on them = death. my guess. They used bolted anchors/ slung blocks for the very end of the lines, with intermediate points of protection fixed with a clove hitch.
nice!
That is an amazing adventure. Climbing a big wall in such an extreme place, then that fantastic wing suit Bump at the top off.. As if that is not spectacular enough they go parasending on days off, on the flats. It's very unusual I get jealous ov climbers for what they are able to do but.................. fuck me, I'vr ndver been so jealous.
amazing.
3...2...1...Antartica !!
Daumen hoch..
it's like a dream......
Une question me tracasse c'est ou sont passés tous les gros bidons bleus du départ... j'espère juste qu'il ont pas été laissés la bas
Ils ont tous été ramenés en avion
cool !
That paraskiing view
It looks like he is about to land at 11:36 but he is actually still hundreds of fee up.
I got no words for this realy...... jesus christ. this is what i call a real adventure !?!?
I wonder why they just didnt use snowmobles to get there and back would have made more sence
think you nissan for paying for them to do this couse its so cool video
Ôh quel pied !
how are they not wearing gloves?!
majestic as... majestic as fuck !
Magic! Like climbing on some alien planet
everywhere is polluted by fun seekers..
nice vid! can you please tell me what the song is called starting at 13:28?
🥰
What jump?
J'adore les Français!!!
yall eating kit kats and twix?

Has anyone ever atttempted to free climb theface?
No alex!
I support climbing and love mountaineering.. Its my life I love to be in the mountains .. But its a request to the petzl crew and company and every other human on earth please leave Antarctica alone at least for its nature and animals . you guys will understand it well cuz mountaineer respects nature and its beings so please stop going there and spoiling it with time more people will go it will rise temperature kill animals do more things so please for the love of god and for love and respect for animals .. Leave Antarctica alone .. One place on earth that's left pure .. Leave it that way
Prashant Ahuja 80vixon bastian Hello. Please read the answer from Sam Beaugey, member of the expedition. Best regards:
""Hello,
I understood your point of view and Antarctica is still a continent respected by tourism or scientists who stay over the years there, we only spend 2 months. You probably heard about the Antarctic Treaty and we have been follow all the guide lines of this treaty to fully respect this area in terms of waste management and cleaning all of climbing equipment and ropes. More over every single waste was brought to Africa with us. It was Traditional climbing and aid climbing when temperature was too cold and every single pitch was clean by our team. We never use generator or electric drill. But yes for sure the impact left on our route variation (first climbed by a swiss/belgium and french Expedition) was exactly 4 bolts put with handle drill (2 on stations because there was no natural protection and 2 in 2 different pitches because the runout without any protection was more than 20m on freeclimbing grade 5.11 on slab). But I do agree as a first choice we should decide either way to go or not to Antarctica as you decide to go or not climb in Himalaya Range some of the last untouched islands in our planet. As a climber I'm sure you can ask yourself anytime what kind of ethics you want to enter and I'm sure you have been in doubt of what you've done before. This is my case everyday but at least to keep my soul clear of contradictions I always tell the truth to the climbing community when I want to communicate a part of my adventures especially when I decide to put bolts. Some schools who has follow all of our expedition asked me the same as you but then when we went through all the knowledge of this special continent they came back to me with a different vision. I hope to meet you once somewhere in the world and may be get the time to share more of our own experiences.
Best regards."" Sam Beaugey
and if antartica ever did get fucked up it would most likely not be from any one even near it would be from people 10000s of miles away from global warming
Outdoor enthusiasts and archaeologists are above environmental rules. Look what they did to Everest.
Yes, you are right, the greatest threat to Antarctica is China and India dumping megatons of industrial waste into rivers and oceans every single day
The dude at the start that said hello sounds like a woman but looks like a man im confused??
if you are going to climb in Antarctica, at least dont put bolts in, all you'll do is ruin a perfect landscape.
if anything its done 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 percent of damage to the mountain
80vixon FYI, it is a fact that Antartica is a natural reserve. Nations decreted it had to stay a VIRGIN land. A bon entendeur, Salut.
80vixon does that change the fact they did nothing to it
Putting permanent ear rings in your ears damages also 0.00001% of your body but I bet you wouldn't be cool with it if I did it to you.
@bastian turning on your computer to write this comment has made more harm to Antarctica than the couple of bolts they left there.
ewwwwww, aid climbing...... The base jump was cool though.
Why do you think you are permitted to use bolts? Every country has its own rules on bolts, Antarctica does not belong to anyone so I think you should ask UIAA first. It is totally ok to bolt a popular route on the crag, but a isolated place like Holtanna, no, you should have used nuts and cams.
which they would if they could have done.
Wrong! Look at 2:40 perfect crack beside a bolt.
Cams would still scratch the rock, and isn't it unsafe to do on cold rocks like that?
They bolted as they were leaving fixed lines in for quick ascent over coming days. I'm not sure how experienced you are with big walling, or scenarios you would keave fixed ropes in such as this, but uou do not want to be ascending fixed ropes left for days on nuts in these conditions and you just wouldn't use cams with fixed lines at all anyway, no matter what the environment is, they can walk out very easily if you were jugging on them, so it's a no brainer. I can think of many reasons to bolt here, and only one not to.
@@ReaIJohnDoe leave no trace is the only rule, nothing can justify the mark of your presence over there ! Have Frenchies really not learned anything from JC Droyer?
This does nothing for me except to serve as a reminder that people let their ambitions and desires lead them to desecrate natural features as if they are there just for their enjoyment. In my book, that makes them, well, ya know - pigs.
“Desecrate”? Lol you’re boring. If these weren’t white Europeans you’d be pissing your little panties about how brave and heroic it was. Gfy
