Flammes De Pierres
"Flammes de Pierre" is the first documentary made by Gaston RĂ©buffat himself in 1947. It depicts RĂ©buffat in full ascent of the Flammes De Pierre, wild ridges in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif overlooking Chamonix. Like Roger Frison-Roche, Walter Bonatti, RenĂ© Desmaison or Giusto Gervasutti, Gaston RĂ©buffat has written and filmed the great pages of contemporary mountaineering but above all, he knew how to talk about it with enough poetry so that it is not simply airtight race stories for spectators. Stories that have been triggers for many readers, who have come to know âstone flamesâ thanks to him.
