Opera Vertical Patrick Edlinger - Restaured - Full Movie

Opera Vertical is a restored 1982 docufilm from France that captures the magnetic presence of Patrick Edlinger, the era-defining French climber who helped introduce rock climbing to a wider audience. In a compact 27 minutes, it drops you onto the limestone of Buoux and the towering walls of the Verdon Gorge, where Edlinger moves with calm precision and total commitment in sequences that feel both intimate and mythic. What makes this film worth your time is the way it preserves a specific moment in climbing history: when climbers were framed as modern heroes and the sport’s image was still being written. The restored footage has a raw, timeless energy, and Edlinger’s effortless style turns every exposed position into a lesson in flow, focus, and nerve. If you’re drawn to the roots of sport climbing, the culture of the 80s, or simply want to feel the vertigo and beauty of big limestone, Opera Vertical delivers.
