Beyond Good and Evil

Beyond Good and Evil follows a legendary mixed route on the north face of the Aiguille des Pèlerins above Chamonix—an austere “house of pain” where rock, ice, and doubt are inseparably linked. Inspired by Nietzsche’s line about searching for truth beyond morality, the film traces the climb’s history through three duos: the bold first ascent by Andy Parkin and Mark Twight, the myth-making repeat by François Damilano and François Marsigny, and a winter reckoning by the next generation, Marion Poitevin and Sébastien Ratel. What makes it worth watching is the way it turns difficulty into story: three teams, three temperaments, and three encounters with the same uncompromising line. In just over eleven minutes, it captures the distinctive intensity of hard mixed climbing—cold hands, precise movement, and partnership under pressure—while asking the quieter question beneath the grades: what do we really go into the mountains to find?

"In the house of pain, we were chained together searching for our truth, beyond good and evil". This quote from Nietzsche inspired Andy Parkin and Mark Twight, the openers of this mixed climbing route, that became a reference. Listed extremely difficult, North oriented, this route was appealing for François Damilano and François Marsigny, the repeaters of the route. Last winter, it was time for the up-and-coming generation, represented by Marion Poitevin and Sébastien Ratel to meet the challenge. Three duos, three experiences, three encounters… echoing the Trilogy alpine series.

C'est cette citation de Nietzsche qui a inspiré Mark Twight et Andy Parkin, les deux ouvreurs de cette voie en mixte située sur l'aiguille des Pèlerins, devenue une référence. Cotée extrêmement difficile, orientée au Nord cette voie était un appel pour les deux répétiteurs François Damilano et François Marsigny, perpétrant le mythe. L'hiver dernier, c'était au tour de la génération montante de l'alpinisme, incarnée par Marion Poitevin et Sébastien Ratel, de relever le défi. Trois duos, trois expériences, trois rencontres... faisant écho à la gamme Trilogy Series.
