CAPITAN CROCHET
ROBERT NICOD
France / 1989 / 26'
In the desert scenery of the National Yosemite Park (Carlifornia) the film portrays two kinds of climber. Plantier shows us his acrobatic skills in free climbing combined with perfect elegance. Bongard, on the other hand, is an ace in artificial climbing, which is a personal challenge that rewuires intelligence and tenacy if one wants to conquer a 1000 metres wall like "El Capitan".
