A film by
Alexandra Elkin
A group of young climbing enthusiasts set off on a whim to scale the legendary walls of El Capitan in California, guided by Dierdre Wolownick, the oldest woman in the world to have completed the climb.
From Red Rock Canyon to Yosemite, director Alexandra Elkin follows two climbers in their seventies, Jack Lambert and Dierdre Wolownick, as they push the limits of age in the extreme sport of rock climbing. Between vertigo-inducing ascents and inner journeys, «Au pied du mur» is an inspiring human adventure where fear becomes a driving force and every summit reached redefines the very notion of limits.
