This film project dives into the importance of knowledge in the mountains, showcasing the work done behind the scenes by a young guide prior to his excursions to keep things safe. Explaining what a guide brings to the table on the day of expedition, and where that can take you. No better place to experience this than in Chamonix, the mountaineering mecca of europe, where the guides play an extremely important role in the mountain safety.
It will contrast the danger of the terrain with the preparation for any possible outcome, along with the beauty of what you can see and achieve in the high alpine.
