Beyond Good and Evil

"In the house of pain, we were chained together searching for our truth, beyond good and evil". This quote from Nietzsche inspired Andy Parkin and Mark Twight, the openers of this mixed climbing route, that became a reference. Listed extremely difficult, North oriented, this route was appealing for François Damilano and François Marsigny, the repeaters of the route.
Last winter, it was time for the up-and-coming generation, represented by Marion Poitevin and Sébastien Ratel to meet the challenge. Three duos, three experiences, three encounters… echoing the Trilogy alpine series.

"Nous sommes enchaînés à la douleur, à chercher nos vérités, au-delà du bien et du mal". C'est cette citation de Nietzsche qui a inspiré Mark Twight et Andy Parkin, les deux ouvreurs de cette voie en mixte située sur l'aiguille des Pèlerins, devenue une référence.
Cotée extrêmement difficile, orientée au Nord cette voie était un appel pour les deux répétiteurs François Damilano et François Marsigny, perpétrant le mythe.
L'hiver dernier, c'était au tour de la génération montante de l'alpinisme, incarnée par Marion Poitevin et Sébastien Ratel, de relever le défi. Trois duos, trois expériences, trois rencontres... faisant écho à la gamme Trilogy Series.

Mark twight is my hero. He’s a different climber than most. He was fighting inner demons much like me. I’m still fighting them to this day. He’s always been an inspiration to keep fighting and not give up.

With you

Always good to see Twight. His memoir " kiss or kill" is excellent.

So glad I was pointed to this series! Thanks HPG and KG

[@bryceevans1692]

Awesome video! I remember reading about this route in Twight's book and it's fantastic to see this now :)

[@peter-kv7wf]

Great video. You've captured something wonderful.

[@owensilitch1938]

Awesome video (and history) of a freaking badass route!

[@lemoinedrake]

For the second ascent it was a completely different route - the do-ability quotient went way up.

[@dsorvita]

The quote at 11:03 it is not from M.Twight, it's from Nietzsche.

@SimondChamonix when will you bring the coyotes back?

[@MrJongalt]

How did the film from above? Re-enactment or drone?

[@millet_mountain]

Hi, the day before the ascent, static ropes were placed to allow Jon Griffith and Bertrand Delapierre to hang up above the route. No drones

[@pavelnedyalkov]

Would someone share from which work of Nietzsche is this quote? It seems it is not from Beyond Good and Evil.

[@truebluemen9673]

La volonté de puissance
