Two young mountaineers show their mastery in mountaineering by climbing La Grignetta (2177 m), in the Grigna Massif in the province of Lecco (Italy). The two men are accompanied to the base of the climbing route by two women who follow its progression and await their return. Men climb tied to life and go through a series of complicated steps while being encouraged by women; once they reach the top, they abseil down the rocky wall.
