01:31And then we did all the training of the guide together, so we really liated a close relationship.
01:37He is a companion with whom I can play well in the good mood.
01:42In fact, with Lucien, what we love is to find out in the mountain, not to talk about it, and
01:48above all.
01:49It's the feeling that we love with Guillaume, to see the summit quickly approaching,
01:54to come up and say, well, let's go through the water, 3-4 hours, we're down.
01:59Most of the time, if we can enter the night at home, it's better.
02:02And we like it, when we're in the morning, at 2-3 hours,
02:06when we're back in the valley at the day, it's really a great moment.
02:12He told me, oh, he's a little savage.
02:15Ah oui !
02:16It's a good mood.
02:18One day, in the range of La Vancher, we found old photos.
02:23In a old commode, we open the room, and there, it's a voyage in the time.
02:32We found aèĄŁæ, aèĄŁæ, aèĄŁæ, aèĄŁæ, aèĄŁæ.
02:39It's a great moment.
02:40It's a great moment.
02:41Yeah, it's a great moment.
02:42Yeah, it's a great moment.
02:43And then, in the front of the room, the only thing rangé,
02:46mis there, certainly, by Alphonse, it's this treasure,
02:51these photos magnifiques,
02:54the pose of the Vierge.
02:57It's a great moment.
02:59But these discoveries like this,
03:01it relie the present and the past.
03:04It's a very emotional discovery.
03:07When Fabienne mentioned the photos that she found in La Grange,
03:09the coincidence was really beautiful.
03:12It was echoing to the idea that porte Lucien,
03:14for years,
03:14to go visit her.
03:16This idea, I had to have the suite
03:18of my bivouac
03:19at the summit of the Grépons in 2016,
03:22which was really impressed,
03:23because it was a moment,
03:24like I said, out of time.
03:25And I told myself,
03:27these little statues,
03:28it adds something,
03:30something,
03:31And I thought,
03:33there were seven in the Massif.
03:35It would be a great voyage,
03:37in fact,
03:37to relay these statues.
03:40To start from Courmayer,
03:41to start by La Noire de Petrae,
03:43and then to start by La Traversée
03:45in the direction of the Suisse,
03:46and Italy,
03:48Suisse,
03:48with the little bit of the portalet.
03:51And then,
03:52to finish by La Grépnais
03:54and to go to La Chamonix,
03:56and then...
03:58Well,
03:58you sold it!
03:59It's hot!
04:04Beyond saying
04:05okay,
04:06we're going to make a good trip
04:07in Alpi,
04:07in mountains,
04:08like we love,
04:09we have the possibility
04:10to make a really good trip,
04:11to try to discover
04:13what's behind these figures.
04:15We want to break their mystery.
04:18It is,
04:18it is really cool.
04:27I'm going to find the photo
04:28aérienne
04:29where,
04:30it's not very big,
04:31but you see the face,
04:33and you see the face,
04:34and then you see the verde
04:35and the verde.
04:35And it's interesting.
04:37There's a certain summit
04:37on which,
04:38when you arrive in the haut,
04:40you find a story,
04:42an intimacy,
04:43a beautiful presence.
04:49Why there was all this problem of the Vierges, or what they wanted to do,
04:53it's because what happened at the time, we can hardly compare it with now.
04:58It's to say that life in the valley was a difficult life.
05:02So everything was often mis in common.
05:04We often forget that there were times where the mountains were the demons,
05:08people didn't put a pied in the mountains, the glaciers were men,
05:12the people here were poor, they were poor, they were peasants, it wasn't at all the mountains.
05:17For example, if you imagine that in the Mont Blanc there were ghosts,
05:21it's not the same thing as today,
05:24so we know that, just to prove the contrary, there was no ghosts.
05:29There's a folklore which is becoming an unknown, because apart from those who go there,
05:32no one remembers these stories, and even less of what they look like.
05:38But it's true that there's nothing on this documentation.
05:40There was Catherine Destivelle who wrote a little thing on the Vierge des Drues.
05:56It's quite international, in fact.
05:58There are a lot of Slovenes, Czechs, Russes, Polonaises.
06:03But the photos, they are almost canelaide.
06:05Yeah, they are really moving, these photos.
06:07And you see, they're four, they're in the Nantillons, they're passing by the Nantillons.
06:10And you see, they're in the Nantillons, they're in the Nantillons.
06:12And you see, they're in the Nantillons, they're in the Nantillons.
06:14They're not numeralized, so they don't lose it.
06:18They're in the museum.
06:26It's us who are a witness, and it's to show us what happened before.
06:43They're in the Nantillons.
07:11Aiguinoor de Petrae, to my eyes, was one of the most beautiful.
07:16C'est une des montagnes qui a le plus de caractĂšre dans le chaĂźnement parce qu'il n'y a
07:19aucun cÎté qui est vraiment accessible, ça fait vraiment une montagne, une belle montagne triangulaire, noire, de rochers, de pur
07:28granit, et mĂȘme la voie normale, elle est difficile d'accĂšs, et c'est ce qui la rend si particuliĂšre.
07:41On sait que ça allait ĂȘtre un gros morceau, on Ă©tait content de commencer par lĂ .
07:52On a attaqué de nuit à grimper les premiÚres rampes qui étaient trÚs humides, avec beaucoup de bousses mouillées.
07:57On trouvera beaucoup de glace, beaucoup de verglas, donc on va devoir quand mĂȘme s'employer.
08:37La montagne, elle est austĂšre, parce que nous, quand on est lĂ -haut, c'est pas notre quotidien, on surveille
08:43lĂ -haut.
08:44Enfin, on y va pour le plaisir, on y va, mais parfois, bon, ce serait bien d'ĂȘtre arrivĂ© en
08:52bas, quoi.
09:07Et plus on montait, plus il y avait de neige.
09:12Jusqu'Ă arriver dans le dernier tiers, oĂč vraiment, on enfonçait quasiment jusqu'Ă la taille, entre chaque pointe.
09:30Ăa m'a toujours intriguĂ©, et puis j'ai toujours eu un sentiment particulier quand j'arrivais sur un de
09:35ces sommets avec ces madonnaies.
09:36J'ai l'impression d'ĂȘtre vraiment en face de quelqu'un.
09:56Donc on a un visage qu'on pourrait dire altéré, or la Sainte Vierge a pour anagramme le visage inaltéré.
10:09Et donc il y a une idée de pureté qui demeure là , alors que les conditions dans lesquelles ces pauvres
10:16madonnes se trouvent,
10:17je parle de la mĂ©tĂ©o, sont quand mĂȘme parfois un peu confortables.
10:23Hop lĂ , mon gars !
10:25Yes, mec !
10:26Oh putain !
10:27Stop !
10:27Belle !
10:28Bien joué, mon fils.
10:29Belle, ouais.
10:30Ah, la magie !
10:31AprĂšs, il y a des lieux oĂč on est content de l'avoir vu, mais on est content, il ne
10:35faut pas rester, quoi.
10:35Parce que le mauvais temps arrive et tout, on dit, oh la pauvre, elle va rester lĂ toute seule.
10:40Je crois qu'Ă un moment, on l'humanise tellement que c'est plus un bout de ferraille, c'est
10:44une dame.
10:46Et quelque part, quand on redescend et qu'on l'a dans le dos, je pense qu'inconsciemment on se
10:51dit, on la laisse lĂ -haut.
10:53Mais en mĂȘme temps, un, c'est son rĂŽle, d'ĂȘtre un peu le phare de l'altitude, et puis
10:58le signe de notre présence.
11:00La vie, elle n'est pas lĂ avec elle, c'est en bas.
11:03Et du coup, il faut enchaĂźner, quoi.
11:07Ăa, c'est vrai.
11:11On va descendre par les rappels, qui sont des petits rappels de 30 mÚtres, super bien équipés.
11:15Et lĂ , on descend en direction des dames anglaises.
11:17Et aprĂšs, on a des escaliers dans le couloir pour rejoindre le glacier de la Brinva et rentrer Ă Courmayeur.
11:25Et voilĂ , la premiĂšre madone.
11:31Les anciens, ils utilisaient des mulets, ils étaient set à la portée.
11:37Ils partaient vraiment de la vallée, ils montaient dans les alpages.
11:40AprĂšs, ils biaquaient, ils remontaient sur le sommet.
11:43C'Ă©tait vraiment un processus qui Ă©tait long.
11:45Et puis pareil, pour leur rendre hommage, on ne va pas prendre une voiture ou une remontée mécanique pour aller
11:50sur ces sommets.
11:52AprĂšs quelques heures de repos, on part sous Elbrunner, donc sous le Skyway.
12:02On arrive donc Ă l'ancien refuge, puis au nouveau refuge de Torino, oĂč on est chaleureusement accueilli par son
12:09gardien.
12:13Cette scĂšne, elle est assez dingue, parce qu'on arrive, on discute avec le gardien de Torino, qui est super
12:19gentil.
12:21Et on lui dit qu'on va venir de la Noire Petrait, qu'on va aller dans le géant, et
12:25que notre projet, c'est d'enchaĂźner les sept vierges du massif.
12:29Et lĂ , il nous regarde avec des yeux Ă©normes et il nous dit...
12:31Mais vous savez pas quoi ? La derniÚre madone, c'est moi qui l'ai posée.
12:35On dit, mais quoi ? Cette madone-lĂ , c'est une des plus anciennes dans le massif ? C'est
12:39pas possible.
12:40C'Ă©tait en 1904.
12:42Ăa, c'Ă©tait les premiers qui sont montĂ©s en 1904, hein, qu'il avait.
12:46Tu sais, ça s'est marqué, groupe des guides de Courmayeur, qui ont transporté la statue de la Vierge, tu
12:52vois, dans le lien.
12:53Oui.
12:53Tu as des noms un peu, ou pas trop ?
12:55Mais bon, c'est ici, ils sont les brocherelles, ils sont les petits gars, ils sont les noms historiques de
13:00Courmayeur.
13:02Et finalement, on se rend compte qu'ils l'ont changé, puisqu'elle avait pris la foudre.
13:08Que la derniÚre fois qu'on a mené la... on a changé la Vierge, c'était du 2009, on a
13:14changé la Vierge.
13:15Ils crĂ©ent un petit peu une part de ce mystĂšre, et on se dit, bah effectivement, elles sont pas lĂ
13:19depuis...
13:19Elles sont pas lĂ depuis vita materna, mais elles sont lĂ , et elles sont quand mĂȘme entretenues, changĂ©es.
13:28On a décidé quelques guides, on était 5-6 guides de Courmayeur, il y avait 3 gendarmes de la finance.
13:36J'avais encore mon fils, qu'il avait 16 ans, et on avait décidé de reprendre un peu.
13:42On avait parlé avec Luigi Glaré, alors on nous avait fait un peu l'histoire, alors on a dit, bon,
13:46on cherche à faire ça.
13:48On pouvait faire aussi non, pas comme Ă l'Ă©poque.
13:52On a fait le deuxiÚme morceau ensemble, emmené la Vierge.
13:58Je pense que sur toutes les Vierges qu'il y a dans la Vallée d'Aos, qu'il y a
14:01partout,
14:03alors c'Ă©tait des gens, ils croyaient en plus que maintenant, je pense.
14:08Que ce soit dans le Valais, que ce soit en Italie, dans le Val d'Aos, mĂȘme ailleurs, que ce
14:14soit la Vallée de Chamonix,
14:15mais je pense que c'est exactement pareil.
14:17C'est vraiment une histoire de protection, c'est vraiment une histoire de communauté.
14:21Dans l'enchaßnement de vivre ça, de vivre une histoire de quelqu'un qui a monté,
14:26qui a contribué à ces petites statuettes, c'était vraiment un dément.
14:35On part vers 3-4 heures du matin, bonne condition de rejel, du coup on accélÚre vite sur le glacier.
14:41On arrive plutÎt que prévu au pied de la montagne, on attaque la grimpée de nuit,
14:44il y avait une autre cordée qu'on dépasse vite.
14:47Les conditions dans la façon de la tour onde étaient super bonnes ce jour-là .
14:50Et du coup on arrive vraiment en fin de nuit, premiĂšre lueur du jour au soleil.
15:28Sous-titrage ST' 501
15:37La madone de la tour onde, c'est la seule qui regarde la montagne,
15:40et je ne m'étais jamais fait la réflexion, et c'est vrai que c'est assez intéressant.
15:50Je crois que c'est une madone qui avait été montée par le club alpin italien,
15:54et c'est une madone du secours aux montagnes.
16:02Elles ont toutes leurs charmes, elles ont toutes leurs personnalités.
16:04MĂȘme si on n'est pas croyant, on sait bien qu'une Sainte Vierge,
16:06ce n'est pas une femme quelconque.
16:08Elle a ce qu'on appelle un halo symbolique.
16:11Un halo symbolique qui n'est pas liĂ© Ă la croyance qu'on Ă©prouve soi-mĂȘme,
16:14mais qu'elle porte par l'histoire, par tous les symboles qui lui sont associés,
16:19tous les récits dans lesquels elle est incorporée.
16:22On a envie de penser que son esprit nous protĂšge.
16:27Et donc ce halo symbolique fait qu'on peut lui associer, par superstition simplement,
16:33une portée, une efficacité, une vertu.
16:43On continue, toujours au pas de course, pour traverser finalement tout le glacier du GĂ©ant,
16:47repasser en proximité du Refuge, et puis on remonte en direction de la Lande du Géant.
16:59C'est aussi un sommet qui est vraiment trĂšs iconique, trĂšs mythique, que tous les Italiens connaissent.
17:08Qu'on soit croyant ou pas, quand on est amené à aller là -haut,
17:12il y a quand mĂȘme une forme d'interrogation, mĂȘme si on ne les dĂ©finit pas,
17:16mais il y a une forme de pensée en tout cas, dans ces grands espaces sociaux lumineux.
17:22Mais partout, dans toutes les cultures, dans toutes les civilisations,
17:25la montagne, elle revient assez souvent comme ce lieu de l'élévation de l'ùme.
17:30L'appel du haut avait initialement une connotation explicite qui Ă©tait religieuse.
17:38Il faut aller vérifier si là -haut, ce n'est pas le paradis.
17:44Il y a une vue Ă©norme.
17:48Bon, bon, Lucianu, qu'est-ce que tu peux nous dire ?
17:51Il y a quelqu'un, il Ă©tait lĂ -bas.
17:55à tout le monde, c'est une telle traversée, il y avait un bon rejel.
17:59Maintenant, il n'y a plus qu'Ă dropper le sommet.
18:01Il est trÚs loin, ça sent bon.
18:04Il y a plus qu'Ă dropper le sommet.
18:17Il y a plus qu'Ă dropper le sommet.
18:28Il y a plus qu'Ă dropper le sommet.
18:44Et on Ă©tait finalement moins seuls avec la madone au sommet qu'Ă la tour ronde ou qu'Ă la
18:50noire de Peutrait.
18:51Et c'est tellement magique de croiser les copains lĂ -haut.
18:54Et de se retrouver tous assis en ligne sur la crĂȘte.
19:12Bien, mon gars.
19:14Eh, on va laisser ça là .
19:16C'est de gauche.
19:18Cool, man.
19:19Bien.
19:20Allez.
19:21Top.
19:22Bon, qu'est-ce qu'on fait ?
19:23On ne traĂźne pas ?
19:24Ăa vous va si on file avant vous ou pas ?
19:26Les jambes, je vais voir, c'est trĂšs cool.
19:31Bon, qu'est-ce qu'on fait ?
19:58C'est trĂšs cool.
20:22Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
20:36If we said that we did everything at the force of the mollet, why not take a little bit of
20:41the bike?
21:21If we said that we did everything at the force of the mollet, why not take a little bit of
21:24the mollet?
21:24The mollet is the summit on the triple frontier. We have one in France, one in Suisse and one in
21:30Italy.
21:31The frontier passes exactly to the summit and they put a madone right there.
22:03The mollet was quite complicated because when we were there, the mollet was quite complicated.
22:24We had another one of the snow that was full of snow,
22:26the spring of spring,
22:28which was very humid,
22:29and even at the ski,
22:31it was really delicate.
22:34All right, let's go, Lucien.
22:37Banga, banga.
22:42We always keep the motivation
22:44to meet the Madone.
22:45We have trouble seeing the summit.
22:48When we climb,
22:50I think you know better than anyone,
22:53we wait for the summit.
22:54When we arrive
22:55and we see a Madone,
22:57or even an object other than the Madone,
22:58for example,
23:00there is a sort of reverse of the symmetry.
23:04While we were waiting,
23:05we were waiting.
23:07Because because of a cognitive cognitive
23:10evident,
23:11we feel that the Madone is here for us.
23:14The summit is here,
23:15yeah.
23:15It's a bit of a mess,
23:16yeah.
23:20Don't kiss me,
23:21you're too gelé.
23:22You're well, you're too good.
23:24Yeah.
23:25The Madone.
23:30The summit,
23:30the same,
23:31there's a breeze,
23:32there's a light that comes out,
23:34that's the Holy Spirit.
23:35It was really something mythic.
23:37It's inhabited by something
23:38that we surpassed,
23:40and that we both protect.
23:44Because the Madone,
23:45she is there,
23:46but we also know
23:47that she is not falling from the sky.
23:49It's the presence of the man,
23:51who is who he is up,
23:52he is up,
23:53it's the man,
23:54and that represents
23:54a woman or a woman.
23:56On every summit,
23:57there is a story
23:58that is quite unique.
24:00The story of this Madone
24:01is really beautiful,
24:02because there were
24:02these young Swiss,
24:03these young Italians,
24:04these young French,
24:05who decided to be up
24:06this little Madone
24:08for claiming
24:10the peace in the world.
24:11The fact that the Madone
24:12is the proof
24:13that we are not the first.
24:15But at the same time,
24:18the summit
24:18is not yet completely paĂŻen.
24:20It's an incarnation
24:22of the fact that the summit
24:23is not quite terrestrial
24:27and not yet
24:29quite celestial.
24:52I was inspired by a famous
24:54book you know,
24:55the analog book
24:56of René Doma,
24:57the story of a mountain,
24:58which we call the summit
24:59because the summit
25:00is masqued
25:01by the gravitational effects
25:02of the gravitation
25:02linked to the general
25:04and the space-temps
25:05is so formed
25:05by this immense mountain
25:07very dense
25:08that the light
25:09does not allow
25:09to connect the bottom.
25:10So there is a mountain,
25:12we see the base,
25:12but we don't see the summit.
25:13And what said René Doma
25:15in this book
25:16is that in fact,
25:18when a summit
25:20is viewed
25:22without being conquered,
25:24it belongs
25:25to the world
25:26even the sky.
25:27And as soon as
25:28it is gravi
25:29by a human,
25:29it becomes terrestrial.
25:31And so the fact
25:32to climb,
25:34to climb,
25:35to climb the mountain,
25:35it makes it descend.
25:39And that's what I love
25:40in the alpinism.
25:41It's that
25:42that I love
25:42we could consider
25:43that
25:44it's a sort
25:45of evasion
25:46where we leave
25:47in fact.
25:48But
25:49as you know
25:50better than anyone,
25:51it's also
25:52an place where
25:52we discover
25:54we discover
25:55in a more clear
25:55the relationship
25:56we have
25:56with the others
25:58who are with us.
26:05Allez, ciao !
26:15On va voler lĂ -bas maintenant.
26:17Il y a du brouillard,
26:19Guillaume décolle
26:19et moi,
26:21il y a la neige qui arrive.
26:22Donc il faut,
26:23sauf qu'il peut,
26:24il faut partir vite.
26:24Je me retrouve un peu piégé,
26:26je me dis
26:26est-ce que j'arrive
26:27à décoller quoi ?
26:29Et au final,
26:29au bout d'une bonne demi-heure,
26:31j'arrive enfin à décoller
26:33et je traverse
26:34un plafond nuageux,
26:35neigeux
26:36et lĂ ,
26:36d'un seul coup,
26:37comme dans les films,
26:38les nuages,
26:38ils s'Ă©cartent
26:39et lĂ ,
26:40je vois la vallée de la foulie
26:41et lĂ ,
26:41c'est parti
26:42pour plus de 15 km de vol.
26:44Le soleil,
26:44tu sais qu'il est en bas,
26:45donc quand tu le retrouves,
26:46ça te fait vraiment
26:47une bouffée d'énergie.
26:53Yala yala !
26:56Yala yala !
27:09Yala yala !
27:11We're going to go to 3006 and we're going to go to 1200 meters.
27:30Few people, even old figures of the valley,
27:35knew that there were seven madones.
27:37Most people thought there were only six.
27:39So we discovered this seven madone by Justin Marquis.
27:43In our research, we learned that it was him who had mounted
27:47the Vierge from the port-allet,
27:49and that it was the most recent of the seven.
27:51She was mounted in 2013.
27:52So we spontaneously sent him a message,
27:55and he replied to our invitation.
27:59We looked at him and asked him to ask him.
28:01So we went to OrsiĂšres.
28:10Hello Justin, it's Lucien, the Vierge Riome.
28:14How are you?
28:15It's okay, it's okay.
28:16It's okay.
28:16To prevent us from getting to OrsiĂšres,
28:18we're here in about five minutes.
28:20It's a little bit close.
28:24Hello.
28:25Hello.
28:26How are you?
28:26Hello.
28:27Yeah, how are you?
28:28Salut.
28:29How are you?
28:30Hello.
28:33Hello.
28:33It's here that we're going to put the Ardoze.
28:36Oh, look at you.
28:37The Clocher, it's a mountain that made a lot of history
28:40in the valley, here, with the first ones who went up there.
28:44The old ones, the crĂȘtais, the people like that.
28:46And then there was the first ascension with Nichelle Darbelay,
28:49the front of the north, the front of the north,
28:51and those things like that.
28:52And then it marked the history.
28:53And then, we followed a little bit of the track,
28:57to climb up there.
28:59In fact, I climbed 28 times the Clocher.
29:01And when we were up there,
29:03the 28th time, I thought we'd have to bring something here.
29:05And then, I thought,
29:07the 30th time we're going to bring something up there.
29:09After, we made a circle,
29:10that I measured the 29th time I was going to bring up.
29:14It took a bit of an honor to all the alpinists
29:18who have climbed up there,
29:19who have made ascension, who have died.
29:24For him, it's a universal way,
29:27I would say,
29:29to thank or to thank him.
29:32I think that it's a sense,
29:34to be able to go up there.
29:36I'm someone who is attached to the history
29:38and in the sense,
29:40I'm at a time where we deconstruct a lot of things
29:43and then, we don't look at the history
29:47as we should look at it,
29:48with a lot of recul
29:49and understand why people did these things
29:53even if we don't understand them anymore.
29:55At the time,
29:56if you put a Vierge,
29:58what they put it in,
29:59it was heroic.
30:01There was also the church there.
30:03There would be a lot of people
30:07to rebuild,
30:09remove them,
30:10or they are more objects
30:12of mockery
30:12than respect.
30:14They should be protected.
30:15Effectivement,
30:16we start from the context of the religions,
30:18whether it be a madone,
30:20a croissant,
30:22or if they were going to be a clown
30:23at the time,
30:23because it was their croyance
30:25to be able to protect them,
30:27they should be protected.
30:29They are part of the patrimoine.
30:30At the end of the day,
30:33we proposed to him
30:34if he wanted to jump with us.
30:36He said,
30:37yes,
30:37yes,
30:37yes,
30:38yes,
30:39he's going to be more than 60 times.
30:41He knows it by heart.
30:42It's really a mountain favorite
30:44and it had really a sense
30:45that they would come with us.
30:46Well,
30:478B, 8B+,
30:48we, if we're going to go,
30:48we'd be able to go by Etatschok.
30:52Yes,
30:52it's cool,
30:52it's a good idea.
30:53Is it going to be a good idea?
30:54Yes,
30:55it's a good idea.
30:57Have you already done Etatschok or not?
30:58No,
30:59Etatschok never.
31:00I've done the subject.
31:01Yes,
31:01cool.
31:02The idea of this project
31:04is to be
31:05to be corded
31:06all along
31:07and to be able to get the cord from the beginning to the end.
31:30Hey, Justin,
31:31thank you for being here.
31:32It's your second house.
31:33It's my second house.
31:34It's my second house.
31:35Yes, exactly.
31:36It's my second house.
31:37It's my second house.
31:38It's my second house.
31:39Yes,
31:40so if you're motivated to get a little bit of esprit clocher,
31:42the name of the road is all about your project.
31:45Yes,
31:45in the same time.
31:47It's a road,
31:48it's a road visible
31:50that can be totally in France.
31:53So,
31:53we got the topos
31:54and we got to see
31:57the extension of the project
31:59that we were waiting for the next day.
32:01The road that we had decided to do
32:04initially
32:04was completely tremped.
32:07So,
32:07it's a bad thing
32:08because it would have been a very beautiful road
32:10in fissures.
32:11Finally,
32:12it was pretty good
32:13because I don't know
32:14if it wasn't too difficult for me
32:16at this moment.
32:17I'm going to do it
32:18tomorrow.
32:19I'm going to do it
32:20yeah.
32:20And at 7 o'clock,
32:21we're at 7 o'clock,
32:22we're at 7 o'clock,
32:22we're at 7 o'clock,
32:23we're at 7 o'clock.
32:47We're at 7 o'clock.
32:48We're at 7 o'clock.
32:49We're at 7 o'clock.
32:55We're at 7 o'clock.
32:59We're at 7 o'clock.
33:02We're at 7 o'clock.
33:03We're at 7 o'clock.
33:04We're at 7 o'clock.
33:04We're at 8 o'clock.
33:04We're at 8 o'clock.
33:04We're at 8 o'clock.
33:05We're at 8 o'clock.
33:05We're at 8 o'clock.
33:06We're at 8 o'clock.
33:06We're at 8 o'clock.
33:07We're at 8 o'clock.
33:08We're at 8 o'clock.
33:08We're at 8 o'clock.
33:10We're at 8 o'clock.
33:12We're at 8 o'clock.
33:38It seems that the alpinism, when we practice it,
33:41it is a sort of a situation where all the virtuality and the metaverse,
33:48as we say today, are proscrites.
33:51It's the body that takes the above.
33:53It's an affair of the body, even if the mental or the psyche
33:57play a role in the determination.
34:38It's the body that takes the above.
34:41It's the real world.
35:06Excellent.
35:08We put the back of the Vierge, only if the back of the Vierge is no longer.
35:12So we will virginize it by putting it into the Vierge.
35:17It's like if we wanted to do it from a sin that is the sin that we had accomplished in
35:22the foot.
35:23Maybe it's that.
35:25Super les gars, bravo !
35:28Super voie, intense.
35:31This day-lĂ , the conditions were super favorable.
35:34There was almost no wind in altitude.
35:36Beautiful temps.
35:37We decided to take the skis to the Cabane Morni,
35:40and then we entered.
35:41And so, we took the skis,
35:44we joined the Trien plateau,
35:46the top top of the Tour.
35:48We go out of the Port Hallet.
35:50Lucien.
35:51It's good, Nick.
35:56We're going to go out of the park
35:57in the same conditions.
36:00It's a snowstorm.
36:01It's a snowstorm.
36:03It's a snowstorm.
36:04It's a snowstorm.
36:04We put the skis parallel face to the Vierge of Chamonix.
36:06And we think that it's a crazy thing.
36:07There's no more than a sommet.
36:09The Dru, the Grépons.
36:15Oh, la vache !
36:16On remet the skis in the dos,
36:19the voile in the sack,
36:20on recharge a little bit of the fromage,
36:22the jambon,
36:24and on part in the direction of the mer de Glace.
36:29On rentre dans la vallée,
36:30on laisse le Mont Blanc Ă droite.
36:40L'ambiance sur la mer de Glace,
36:42on est au printemps,
36:43on a l'impression d'ĂȘtre en pleine automne,
36:46en terre de feu.
36:49Tout le secteur en mer de Glace,
36:50envers des aiguilles,
36:51c'est peu parcouru,
36:52voire pas du tout,
36:52parce que c'est pas la saison.
36:54Il y a encore beaucoup de neige
36:55en face sud et en face nord.
37:02Et lĂ , en face de nous,
37:03on a l'aiguille verte,
37:04qui est le cĂŽne parfait,
37:06avec juste devant elle
37:09le pilier oĂč est-ce des Dru.
37:27Il y a un monolithe granitique,
37:31qui est vraiment trĂšs imposant,
37:33trĂšs raide,
37:36qui a connu nombre de premiĂšres,
37:39de drames alpinistiques,
37:43de secours historiques, etc.
37:46Donc c'est une montagne qui peut faire peur,
37:49qui est assez difficile Ă escalader.
38:15C'est une montagne qui laisse des traces.
38:23C'est pas facile.

39:13Un palancien au plus simple,
39:14dans les lignes de faiblesse.
39:16Et puis voilĂ ,
39:17quelques freines.
39:18Je pense qu'il y a quelques pitons en place.
39:20Et puis voilĂ ...
39:21...
39:36Le premier leader des Vierges,
39:39c'est Charles Estratone,
39:42Jean-Estéril Charles Estratone,
39:43qui a fait la premiĂšre des Drues.
39:45On ne peut pas se représenter
39:47ce qu'a été l'effort des pionniers.
39:49Parce qu'eux,
39:50aller vers un inconnu,
39:52qui par définition n'existe plus
39:53dĂšs lors qu'ils ont conquis le sommet.
39:57Et donc on ne peut pas répéter l'expérience.
39:59On peut faire comme eux,
40:01mais pas exactement comme eux.
40:03Autrement dit, toute expérience
40:05de ce type d'ascension aujourd'hui
40:07est incommensurable
40:09à l'expérience des pionniers,
40:11puisqu'on ne peut pas faire
40:12que l'ensemble des connaissances
40:13qu'on a acquises depuis
40:14n'aient pas joué un rÎle
40:15dans notre propre façon
40:17de considérer la montagne.
40:23Ils sont montés en 1913.
40:25La caravane,
40:26elle a été menée au début
40:27par Estéril Charles Estratone.
40:29Et aprĂšs,
40:30en fin de compte,
40:32ils ne sont pas rĂȘvĂ©s
40:33Ă aller en haut.
40:34Ils se sont arrĂȘtĂ©s
40:35Ă autour de 3000 mĂštres d'altitude.
40:37Ils ont planqué la Vierge.
40:38Elle faisait 15 kilos.
40:39Ils ont planqué la Vierge
40:40dans une aspérité.
40:42Ils se sont redescendus.
40:43Le mauvais temps est arrivé.
40:44Ils n'ont pas pu y retourner
40:44tout de suite.
40:45Et en 1900,
40:46juste aprĂšs 13,
40:47il y a 1914,
40:48il y a eu la guerre.
40:50Ils ont retrouvé des docks
40:51comme quoi ils avaient planqué
40:52les Vierges lĂ , etc.
40:55Ils avaient fait un bout de croquis
40:57et ils ont été obligés
40:58d'y retourner,
40:59mais en 1919.
41:00Et pourquoi il y avait
41:02toute cette problématique
41:03des Vierges
41:04ou tout ce qu'ils ont voulu faire ?
41:05C'est tout simplement
41:06parce qu'aprĂšs la guerre,
41:07il y a eu tellement d'atrocités
41:08que la religion a pris une place
41:10hyper importante.
41:11Et donc,
41:12ils sont retournés en 19,
41:13mais Jean-Estéry Charles Stratone
41:15est mort hier.
41:16Donc, il n'a pas pu y retourner.
41:17Et c'est la fratrie ravanelle
41:19de ma famille
41:20qui a pris le lead lĂ -dessus,
41:23qui ont trouvé la Vierge,
41:23qui l'ont montée, etc.
41:27qui a pris le nuit pour les deuternes.
41:30Et il y a tout.
41:36Et il y a tout.
41:43Et il y a tout.
42:30What do you think ? Look at how she is beautiful.
42:35She is still there.
42:38She looks well and well.
42:41Look at that.
42:45It was a lot of emotion.
42:48We are a bit at the end of our period.
42:51We are tired, but we see the end of the tunnel.
42:53The fact that I grew up with this mountain in front of me, I found it difficult to access naturally.
43:00I haven't been there yet.
43:02Not cool.
43:03You know this mountain?
43:04Yes.
43:06The mountain of my childhood.
43:08I've always seen it.
43:09I've always seen it.
43:10I've always seen it.
43:10I've always seen it.
43:11I've always seen it.
43:14I've always seen it.
43:33I've always seen it.
43:37I've always seen it.
43:49I've always seen it.
43:52I've always seen it.
43:55I've always seen it.
43:59I've always seen it.
44:01who was already there. We managed to find the first call.
44:07The whole company of the Guides was created like this,
44:11around these elements of solidarity,
44:13around this sharing and around these values.
44:17And this is something that has endured after the protection,
44:20after the war, etc.
44:21The person who was responsible for the Guides bureau,
44:25the Sunday morning, there was no mountain,
44:27there was no course, and was charged to verify
44:30that everyone was not in the mountain,
44:32but all of a mess.
44:33And there was an amendment if you were not going to the mess.
44:35The Guides company financed a Shanwan
44:37who would say a mess early morning
44:40so that the Guides would go in the mountain after.
44:43The Guides company is an association.
44:47Normal, an association is apolitic,
44:49there is no religion,
44:51these are the first terms of the status of an association.
44:55And then, we do it on the 15 août.
44:58The Guides company,
45:00it has been,
45:01since 100 years,
45:02it has been done on the 15 août
45:05compared to the Assomption of the Vierge Marie
45:08who went up to the sky.
45:10Because we also went up on the mountain.
45:12If in 1924, the 15 août was chosen,
45:15it was because it was a summer day.
45:17And being a summer day,
45:19the Guides company had decided,
45:22at this time,
45:23to say,
45:24we pay the day to our Guides
45:26for the Secure Caisse
45:28and our Guides
45:29share a day with us
45:30in the Valley.
45:33The Guides have largely participated
45:37on is just under the Dru,
45:39to put the Vierge au Dru
45:41at a time where,
45:43being much more confident,
45:46they could also claim
45:47the protection of the Vierge.
46:07The Guides company
46:08with the little memories
46:09of the Dru,
46:10looking for the memories
46:11under the snow.
46:12This evening,
46:13it was cooked.
46:14Oh, this evening,
46:14it was a demo.
46:21and the next day,
46:23it will not have a choice.
46:23Here we go!
46:37This morning,
46:38it's difficult.
46:42But it's the last morning,
46:43theoretically.
46:44It's the last morning.
46:46After Lucien, I don't want to talk about it, I'll call it my friend.
46:54We'll have to take a few vacances.
46:57It's time for the last one, direction Grippon.
47:02So, in a few hours, we'll be at the top.
47:04And I hope to get out of the sun, without the nantillons,
47:09and to put it in.
47:10That would be just the end.
47:27When you know the history of the Arvenel brothers who are up there,
47:31you have the images of the 1920s,
47:35where you see them up with their tricunis,
47:37wearing a statue of 40 or 50 kilos.
47:40And it was an expedition, it was a trip.
47:42They went from Chamonix.
47:44So, in the middle of the hill,
47:45the Vierge had been mounted by a mulet.
47:48It was worn out, but after, no.
47:50It was a very difficult time.
48:03It was that the first time,
48:17it was a great time to get out.
48:18and I was like that, sitting there, and I had the eyes that were closed.
48:33We know how the madone of Grepont is fascinating,
48:38and we want to join her because it's also the last one.
48:41It's almost the only one who is not a madone miraculous,
48:43who is not a Notre Dame of Lourdes, but who is Notre Dame of La Salette,
48:46who is a madone who pleure and pardon,
48:48and it's true that she has this sad face,
48:50with this little smile on the eye,
48:53with her crown of rose,
48:55she loves it a lot.
49:00Thank you for the voyage.
49:02Thank you, my friend.
49:08It's beautiful, right ?
49:13It's the one that's going to be replaced by you.
49:17It's wonderful.
49:19It's the Reine of Madone with the crown.
49:26We take the time to be a little bit in contemplation,
49:30in contemplation,
49:31in introspection on our project,
49:33on what we've accomplished.
49:34We finish our journey,
49:36we're already nostalgic to what we've lived.
49:53In theflyĐž,
49:54I love the Madone,
49:54I love the Madone.
49:55It's our heritage.
49:57So whether you like them or not,
49:59whether the symbol they are representing
50:00and the value in our eyes or not,
50:02they still represent a lot
50:04around the history of the alpinism.
50:38We'll live, ça peut se faire tranquillement, dans sa couche de masse, dans sa zone de confort, comme dirait certains.
50:45Mais exister, c'est aller explorer l'ailleurs de soi, dans des conditions diverses.
50:51En se mettant à , j'aime pas ça, en se mettant en danger, non.
50:54Il s'agit d'aller voir, d'explorer.
50:57Pas pour chercher le danger, mais pour chercher toute sensation et on te demande des limites.
51:03Peut-ĂȘtre des rĂ©vĂ©lations, peut-ĂȘtre des rĂ©ponses, des questions qu'on se pose.
