Arnaud Petit and Stéphanie Bodet attempt to free-climb the thirteen-year-old route on Grand Capucin, a majestic 3,800-metre pinnacle that juts from the Mont Blanc Massif. The two mountaineers must tackle stretches of extreme climbing that are made even more difficult by the altitude and adverse weather conditions. This 450-metre route, which includes an 8b stretch, may well be the toughest route in the whole Alps.
