We mentioned it in September, now the video is out documenting the enormous work and energy brought into play to make a dream come true: that of disabled Frenchwoman Vanessa François to spend a night in a portaledge perched high up on the Grande Gendarme, above the Arête des Cosmiques (Mont Blanc). A project that surprised all those involved for the intensity of the emotions it created. A Cosmic Bivouac, nothing less.
