Hervé Barmasse
My life between zero and 8000
Alpinism is adventure, risk, effort, passion and love; it is the strength of a man who goes beyond himself and faces his own physical and mental limits. The first rule of alpinism is giving the best of yourself, because you are endangering your own life. Therefore, you cannot lie, find excuses or postpone decisions. Through beautiful pictures and evocative stories, Hervé Barmasse tells us about an alpinism where nature – if respected and listened to – becomes friendly and accessible to everyone. It is a journey between the uncertainty of the results and the research of the impossible, between sport and the culture of the mountain. “A professional alpinist is the one who defends and protects the mountain, the one who goes climbing in respect of nature, and not the one who wants to climb in any way possible.” A sustainable alpinism for the good of the community.
