Le Dhaulagiri, Montagne Des Vents
Dhaulagiri, Mountain of Winds Synopsis
In October 1984, Pierre Béghin, an engineer from Grenoble, and Jean-Noël Roche, a high-mountain guide, completed the Himalayan ascent of Dhaulagiri (8,172 m). The expedition's context: seven people crossed Nepal to Muri, collected accounts from trekkers—including that of the author Robert Rieffel—and attended Sherpa prayers at base camp. Then, the two of them embarked on a rocky and snowy route without supplemental oxygen. At over 5,000 meters, on the mountain of winds, Jean-Noël Roche made a paragliding flight. The climbers brought back footage with their Super 8 camera from 6,500 meters, but only photographs have been able to confirm their presence on the summit ridge of the seventh highest peak in the world.
Dhaulagiri, Mountain of Winds (1985) is a documentary and adventure film directed by Philippe Lallet, released on January 1, 1985 with a runtime of 27m. It stars Pierre Béghin, Jean-Noël Roche, Robert Rieffel and Claude Roche. Viewers rate it 10.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
