When Katherine Choong invites her friend Eline Le Menestrel to climb “Zahir”, a classic multi-pitch route in the Swiss Alps and one of the country’s most challenging, Eline agrees, but on one condition : they must travel using only eco-friendly means.
As the days pass on the wall, they realize just how ambitious their project is. The long distance between bolts, the tiny holds, and the exhaustion from cycling push them to their limits. Fueled by determination and enthusiasm, will Eline and Katherine find their own Zahir?

Originally from Paris, Julien Nadiras has been passionate about mountains and sports since early childhood, inspired by adventure books. He fulfills these passions through rock climbing in Fontainebleau and spending summers in the mountains, always with his camera slung over his shoulder.
His interest in imagery gradually grew, leading him to pursue studies in audiovisual production to master the craft of filmmaking. Over the years, he has followed climbers on their “big wall” adventures and expanded his work to include filming mountain and ski expeditions.
