Jean-Paul Lemercier
Oyuncu
Jean-Paul Lemercier is a French climber and mountain guide with the Chamonix Guides Company. Jean-Paul Lemercier is a childhood friend of climber Patrick Edlinger. In their late twenties, he and Patrick wanted to become mountain guides and racked up mountain climbs to prepare for the Aspirant Guide exam in France. Lemercier took the exam, while Patrick turned to pure rock climbing and told him, "I'm giving up on the exam; I don't want to take the place of someone who really wants to do this..." Jean-Paul Lemercier can be found in climbing and mountaineering documentaries including "Objectif Mont-Blanc 4808m" by Stéphane Bizien (2011), "Le Mont Blanc" by Sébastien Devrient (2000), alongside Patrick Edlinger in "Opera Vertical" by Jean-Paul Janssen (1984), "Arrowhead" by Maurice Rebeix (1989), "Histoire D'Une Passion" by Bernard Maurice (1989).

Film10.0BelgeselMaceraVertical Opera is a documentary film directed by Jean-Paul Janssen, with climbers Patrick Edlinger and Jean-Paul Lemercier in the Gorges du Verdon. The film opens with a training sequence of Patrick Edlinger then he links the routes with Jean-Paul Lemercier "L'Ange en décongelation" (7a), in which he falls voluntarily to demonstrate the usefulness of the rope, then "Le Septième Saut" (7b+). Finally, the final scene, an anthology, consists of a close-up of Edlinger who climbs free solo and barefoot the route "Débiloff", still in the Verdon, above hundreds of meters of void, all to lyrical music. It is "Wie Furchtsam Wankten Meine Schritte", the aria for alto voice from Johann Sebastian Bach's cantata BWV 33, music not unrelated to the subject of the documentary: "How faltering and fearful my steps were".

Film10.0BelgeselThe ascent of Mont Blanc takes two days. First, you have to climb the Aiguille du Goûter, at the summit of which, at 3,817 meters, clings the Goûter refuge, a small metal box where you spend the night. The climb is 1,500 meters long, including some of the most technical sections. 2:00 a.m. The alarm rings, and Carole Dechantre and Jean-Paul Lemercier begin their ascent of the Dôme du Goûter by the light of their headlamps. With the first rays of sunlight, the Arête des Bosses is illuminated. Already, the surrounding mountains seem smaller. One last effort, and they finally reach the summit of Mont Blanc, the roof of the Alps, at 4,810 meters.

Film10.0BelgeselUne Vie Au Dessus Du Vide (A Life Above the Void), directed by Nicolas de Virieu, is a documentary that recounts the journey of Patrick Edlinger, an exceptional climber, through a parallel between the strong media impact he had, unmatched to this day, and the evolution, or rather the explosion, of climbing activity during the 80s/90s. Rare excerpts from mainstream programs (television news, Champs-Élysées, Le Grand Échiquier, Les Carnets de l'Aventure...) also remind us what a great star he was, all interspersed with interviews with Seb Bouin, Jean-Paul Lemercier, Arnaud Petit, Antoine Le Menestrel and Gérard Kosicki.
