High mountain guide and renowned mountaineer, Patrick Gabarrou has achieved more than 300 "firsts" in the Alps, the Andes, the Himalayas... But the mountain is not simply for him the place of effort and exploit. It is also a privileged space for sharing, wonder and serenity. Aware of the living gift that has been given to it in the heart of the altitude world, the strive to defend its beauty and savagery and to share it with handicapped and disadvantaged people. The Christian dimension of his life takes on particular importance in these places, to which he testifies here with simplicity and humility.—Hoggar Climb Club
