The Greatest Female Alpinist Of All Time

Catherine Destivelle was one of the most badass people to tie in during the late 80s/early 90s. Unlike a lot of climbers, she’d take her skill to the mountains, making bold ascents on both rock and ice. Some of her accomplishments include: - First female climbing World Champion - One of the first commercially successful climbers with sponsorships - First female sport - First winter onsight solo of the North Face of the Eiger - First repeat of the Bonatti-Route on the North Face of the Matterhorn (30 years after the FA) Shoutout to all the people who capture the epic moments throughout Catherine’s career. --- DISCLAIMER: The pictures, audio, and video used in the videos on this channel are a mix of royalty-free, public domain, or media that fall under the guidelines of fair use.
