Winter Mountain Trilogy (part 6)

Filmed around March 1987 the solo winter ascent by Christophe Profit of the three classic north faces in the Alps. The Grande Jorrasses, Eiger and the Matterhorn (Cervin) north faces all climbed in under 48 hours ...!
The summer of 1985 was the year in which he enchained the trilogy of North Faces the Eiger, Matterhorn and Grandes Jorasses (up the Linceul), in just 24 hours. He later repeated this feat in winter in uder 48 hours (March 1987) by climbing the Croz Spur on the Grandes Jorasses, the Heckmair route on the Eiger North Face and the Schmid route on the Matterhorn solo in winter in a record 42 hours.
Sadly now no longer available this documentary film has been my motivation and climbing inspiration over the past 20 odd years. It was salvaged from some old VHS video tape onto DVD before being split and uploaded onto YouTube.
