Video: Gaston Rebuffat
Watch three minutes of rare archival footage. The premier French guide of the 1950-60s. He climbed the first post-World War II ascent of the Eiger North Face, and he was on the first ascent of Annapurna. Here you see him scampering up alpine rock, with never a piece of protection in sight, or a shirt untucked! Fluid, controlled, and graceful.
