Winger For The Weekend #50

Black Diamond Europe's sales manager, David Ledouble, turned us on to this classic climbing Winger from France. If you don't speak French, don't worry, we think you'll get the gist pretty quick as this clip beautifully captures the extreme boldness and adventurous spirit of French alpinism.

    Shades of "Chouinard's Yard" ads from the sixties. (And yeah, I was there AND I remember them.) See http://www.thearmchairmountaineer.com/, scroll down about half way.

    Truly inspiring! The best urban-alpinist video ever made. Hopefully Banff agrees and we can see this on the big screen.
