Mountains on Stage is back at the Rio Theatre for its Summer 2024 edition on Tuesday, April 30.

DEEPFREEZE a film by Yannick Boissenot
37 years ago, Patrick Gabarrou and Hervé Bouvard defied the impossible by opening the “Walker Directissime” on the north face of the Grandes Jorasses. No climber has managed to repeat this
route until February 2023. Charles Dubouloz, Symon Welfringer and Clovis Paulin undertook the ascent of this face, adding an extra difficulty: making the first free ascent in winter. Welcome to the deep freeze of the unknown!

SEA TO SUMMIT a film by Alistair Lee
A memorable story in the heart of Greenland! Join Bronwyn Hodgins and Jacob Cook on an incredible adventure. Over 400km of kayaking in the middle of the Arctic, with its icebergs and
whales, to reach and climb a virgin 800m big wall. A tough objective and capricious weather, but a great atmosphere and breathtaking scenery! Pure inspiration.

FOND OF FONT a film by Jérôme Tanon
To mark the 70th anniversary of the first 7A in Fontainebleau, Seb Berthe and Hugo Parmentier have set themselves quite a challenge: to complete 100 7A boulders on a single day, linking the crags by bike or on foot. An extraordinary journey of over 80 km through the magic forest! And an extraordinary feat when you consider how demanding these rocks are. Crimps, climpers, falls, slips but above all a magnificent human adventure, sublimated by the poetry of director Jérôme Tanon. Major!

SUBTERRANEAN a film by François-Xavier De Ruydts
Could caving be one of the last areas of true exploration on earth? Hidden from the gaze of satellites, underground networks are an infinite playground for adventure enthusiasts. In British Columbia, Franck Tuot and his team have a fixed idea: to discover the largest cave in Canada by linking up different networks of galleries. Between personal sacrifice, success and disillusionment, how far are they prepared to go to achieve their goals? One thing is certain: for these intrepid personalities, the only direction is into the depths.
