Synopsis
The Alpinist (2021) is a documentary by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen — watch it online on iFILM. It follows Marc-André Leclerc, a young Canadian climber who spent the early 2010s completing solo ascents so remote and difficult that the mountaineering world often didn't know he had done them.
Sender Films spent years trying to make this film. Leclerc kept disappearing — weeks in the forests of British Columbia, then a quiet mention of a first ascent on Torre Egger in Patagonia no one had previously attempted. No rope, no partner, no margin for error. Alex Honnold, Reinhold Messner, and Tommy Caldwell all appear on camera, and none hide their disbelief. His girlfriend Brette Harrington describes the parts of his life the expedition footage doesn't capture.
Leclerc died in Alaska in 2018, age 25, before the film was completed. That context reshapes what you're watching every time a climb begins. Watch The Alpinist online on iFILM.
