Passion d'ouverture "Michel Piola"

<p> Like all good Genevans, Michel Piola discovered rock climbing at the Salève, a huge cliff outside Geneva that has been a training ground for a number of leading mountaineers. After 30 years of route-setting, he is without doubt one of the great new routers and has left a lasting impression on the world of climbing. The choice and style of his lines has made his routes extremely popular among large numbers of climbers. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="0024-1413468388" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/128754/0024-1413468388.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> This film is both a biography of Michel Piola and a chance to see him at work equipping routes on crags and in the mountains. </p> <p> <img alt="Argenti_re_piola1-1413468462" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/128758/Argenti_re_Piola1-1413468462.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Olympos1-1413468524" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/128761/olympos1-1413468524.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> The film journeys to Patagonia, Greenland and Pakistan, exploring his life and motivation, as well as following him on current route-setting projects in the Alps and Turkey.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Passion_d_ouverture1-1413468589" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/128763/Passion_d_ouverture1-1413468589.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Flaque1-1413468656" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/128764/flaque1-1413468656.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p>
