All through his life, the famous high mountain guide, Gaston Rébuffat has never ceased to open the doors of his "garden" to all. Books, articles, photographs, films, press clippings, lectures… Every medium was useful to relive and convey his devouring passion for the mountain—in snow, on ice or bare rock. His is a friendship with his companions of the cord, friendship with the mountains, friendship with all Nature. He tells his story of the mountain with simplicity and humor. Precursor, visionary, Gaston was a man totally committed and, yet, he never emphasized the exploit or the struggle : among other high achievements, he was the first to climb the six northern faces of the Alps. This boxed-set contains three films + an eighty-eight page book, illustrated and with previously unpublished documents. An English language version is available on the DVD in PDF format.
