I just watched the documentary and my heart is breaking. I'm glad he died doing what he loved, but I'm so sad for B. Her guilt of not being there really touched me. I hope she can feel whole again...but I doubt it. they shared a truly beautiful and unique way of life and he was a true beacon of light and joy. He is what the world needs more of. Rest in peace Marc Andre.
We should all feel blessed that we were able to catch a glimpse into this young mans life and the incredible and insane things he had accomplished. What an inspiration this man was. I want his grit and love of wonder
@@steveschaeffer6889He literally dodged the camera crew filming his documentary so he could solo a mountain in peace. Bro didnt give a fuck about the attention
@@luhedagreed, even the crew were frustrated in the middle of the documentary because he ended going unexpectedly AWOL for a while only to end up doing a cool ass send by himself or with friends iirc
The great thing about Marc is that he wasn't interested in documenting his accents, he didn't care for it. He wanted the adventure for himself and only himself. He would solo climb really big mountains and then do it again for the video footage IF he decided to do it. What I find really sad is that there is no chance of retrieving the bodies of Marc and his climbing buddy Ryan Johnson. He is and always will be a legend.
When I was a kid I had a friend like Marc who while intensely motivated to do his very best did so in a completely relaxed and self effacing way. You seldom see so much dedication, ability, courage, and skill mixed in with humility. A real loss to the world that Marc died!
Marc Andre was simply the best of what he did. Nobody could even come close to the achievements he's made. The most humble human being ever. Didn't care if anyone knew about a single achievement he did. He didn't care about the disease of social media "look at me and what i did" he actually despised it. He just wanted to climb and it's awful he's gone he is a different and special breed of human being that we have so few of. I will always be inspired by you marc andre! you are a true legend!
They definitely broke the mould after they made him. He’s changed my life and no doubt thousands of peoples lives after his life has ended… god rest his soul….
I just saw THE ALPINIST (now it's Dec 2021) and I watched it 3 times in a row. Marc Andre didn't compromise ANYTHING for anyone. He ate ever meal as if it were his last, he loved Brett, and was the BEST at what he did. It's hard to put into words, but there's a Jesus element to his story. His lesson to us was the same, to love life, treat others well, and carry the message. He is myth and legend now.

@@Nautilus1972 its insanely small and stupid to think the way u are here..dude, we all die..he LIVED his LIFE to the fullest in all ways of love and passion. He lived his absolute purpose and destiny
Marc almost seems mythical to me. In the best ways. He died doing what he loved and was unfortunately never recovered and literally became one with the climb and mountains. It’s a painfully beautiful thing in many ways and I cannot help but to think of what more incredible things he would have accomplished because of what he had already done in such a short amount of time. RIP Marc. We will never forget you.
I think he was going to get himself killed sooner than later, but it's ironic that he didn't die from free soloing, and likely was from an avalanche rather than a climbing error on his part.
painfully beautiful ? They were buried alive, probably didn't die for quite a while imagining his own burial in that place, knowing he would never be found.
I hear this a lot but I have to say I disagree. That documentary showed that when he was on the mountains, he only wishes that he was with his girlfriend. Then after completing the various free solos he would do, what he valued most and appreciated more was spending time with his girlfriend. What he loves most was his girlfriend, even more than he loved climbing.
@@ThatTenorGuy6 I have to disagree. Soloing was #1 to him above all. CLEARLY. If not, he would still be alive. His body isn’t attached to her right now, see. It’s another climber. This says a lot.
@@wolfcrown_pop7682 did you even watch the movie? He didn't die soloing, or even free soloing at that.. He very apparently got caught in an avalanche with a professional partner
I was in the mountains of Northern Patagonia in 1998 and could see some of that granite not far from where we were peak bagging. Nice to see it was as good as we suspected.
@@mastercreamer1398 no one said he did. He learned climbing skills in the gym I go to. He was on the kids team. Obviously he progressed way past that. Nice try though.

I was so excited to see the movie . I love climbing as a sport and the whole film I was being inspired by this young man . I am so sad now . Imaging his final moments I can’t help but feel a sinking feeling in my chest . I am truly inspired by this man . He gave us a gift by doing what he loved and I’m glad I was able to experience it even if it was just a movie . His life was more than that . I hope I never forget about this man and I hope I can live my life to the fullest like him.
Watched this inspiring and moving documentary. Marc Andre Leclerc lived his life to the full and with a passion. He understood the risks involved but was true to himself. For me i felt a huge sense of affinity for Marc...as if i knew him.. there was a more than a touch of a preacher about him .His soul was so advanced it resonated love and peace to everyone around. The scene with "heavy duty" was beautifully spiritual, even with a hula hoop he resonated peace calm and love. There was a strong spiritual aura about him and i was emotionally upset at the end. I do believe he was some type of spiritual guide , a sort of teacher in this world. Whether you think he was fatalistic or not,Marc Andre Leclerec was clearly highly intelligent, eccentric, but as his mother said at the end he lived life on his terms with a passion. How many of us can say that. He had the courage and passion to follow his dreams where most of us do not. He lived a full life of his 25 years. The quality of his life and the lives he touched when witnessing the oupouring of love and respect at the end was incredibly moving . For me It is this that really counts . the love and affection that you are held in at the end of one's life . Rest easy Marc Andre Leclerq. your short human life was long in love and devotion from others.
Just watched his documentary on Netflix and man what a journey Watching him climb was like being there so peaceful and about the journey and the path he was going to take on the way up the mountains He is amazing definitely a legend and left his mark on This Earth RIP..buddy
He was certainly going to kill himself sooner than later. You can't keep pushing the limit like he did and live a long life. Had to be short and fast. No surprise, no shock. Completely expected!
When you can awe Alex Honnold with your climbs, that says a lot. Unbelievable alpinist. His moves were so smooth, deliberate, and methodical, that he made it look easy.

Just watched the Alpinist. i never cared much about extreme climbers but apricated their skills and daredevil element... but it made me so fn sad know he died i cant even explain it. it was like curt cobain died. it was more of his pure personality . he was like a out of this world free spirit and totalist without being competitive ass.
It was good, but they could have ended it MUCH better. More detail, more photography. It’s as if they were in a hurry to wrap it up. They could have made a docu- series out of ALL HE DID, instead of that film. It was lovely, yet half-fast. Unfortunate. Amateur filmmakers.
This guy is an inspiration to all people who struggle with ADHD. Don't believe you need medicine you just need a different way of living. I'm so sad he's gone, I hope he went in peace. Mark is an absolute legend, chasing after a true dream and not rhe fame. He was truly ans inspiration. Rip mark
I’m so fucking sad after watching the documentary. I had this hope he was still alive until I finished it. It was painfully beautiful. Rest in Power, Marc! And Brette, we can’t even imagine how you feel. Much loveeeeee
OMG! Marc passed away in my hometown. Haven't been back in 8 years. Live in AZ now. Just watched the alpinist. Such a shame. Out of all places Juneau Alaska. Wow I lived right down street from where he passed
I gotta wonder if he had gone alone on his last climb if he’d still be here. Did his best climbs alone so maybe it through him off his game a bit. Idk I’m probably just an idiot I just wish I could have met him.
As I watched him free solo ice in The Alpinist I knew he was already dead without actually knowing. You can't do that all the time and expect to be 100% 10,000 times over.
I didn’t know he had passed when I watched the doc. About halfway through it I thought to myself, this guy is gonna die on a mountain. Then came the end of the doc. What a shame to go out that way, but I assume he would have had it no other way.
Movie was both amazing and unnerving to watch. Dangling 1000s of feet above the ground on a waterfall with just 2 ice picks. Makes Álex Honnold look somewhat human.
I think his friends were enthusiastic about doing an adventure, the trek he did was way below his skill level, which is the irony. 14 peaks is pretty good at showing the unpredictability of weather windows, the Sherpas could have easily died at any time during the making of the film. The lead climber was under pressure to film and he even said away from the group in the film, he thought success was 50/50 on K2, he had no idea if he and the group would die, but he celebrated before and after the climb . 14 peaks is pretty realistic the man was special forces he is no joke
It was only a matter of time, there are way too many variables for a person to be able to calculate. Nature and mountains are unpredictable, snow, avalanche, ice, rock breaking just way too much! He loved it though and that’s all that matters.
I thought it was kind of stupid he died in an avalanche, fun easy climb with friends , being as he sent sick ice walls on a regular basis, but he never failed on all his daring technical climbs , come to think of it maybe it's better that way, he was just treking with buddies. He was an artist and lives in the imagination of many
He wasn't just trekking when he died. He and his partner got slammed by a rock and ice fall while rappelling off the north face of the Mendenhall towers. My good friend John bolte died the same way in February rappelling off Fitz Roy. It's literally like playing Russian roulette.
I’m not trying to be rude by saying this but is there any chance the condors are there in hopes/expectations that they get a meal from some animal (person) falling ?
@@cautionmike697 you just replied to a comment from 6 years ago. Back then he was still alive and doing free solos. And I just replied to a 10 month old comment.

Sad no one reached out to him and helped clearly he had problems seemed suicidal his Mom was a major problem from the start not teaching him responsibility and safety at a young old trying to be his friend instead of a MOTHER sad
@Jason Webb craziest part is that he could still be here if it wasn't for an avalanche. it's crazy to think that of all the crazy things he did it was an uncontrollable circumstance that killed him.

I am with with you. So sad that he is gone. He was truly a beautiful sole.
Just watched it to. His sense of adventure is infectious, this world is a beautiful place and he experienced it at its most majestic
It wasn't even him falling, it was a damn avalanche!!!!
His documentary inspired me to die for my dreams
That was my reaction. I couldn't believe it. Not unexpected, but still heartbreaking. What a pure soul. A pure vision.
He was a one of a kind personality. Beautiful person. His climbs were epic. The Alpinist is a fabulous documentary. I have watched it three times.

Cool comment but you know he died from an avalanche while rappeling aka something that could happen to hmmm ANY alpinist ?

Marc is a legend mate one love to his family and friends
What an awesome person mark andre was,
The alpinist reminded me of the grizzly man in the fact that they didnt die until they brought someone along for the adventure.
Both thought they were invincible.
I think his friends were enthusiastic about doing an adventure, the trek he did was way below his skill level, which is the irony.
14 peaks is pretty good at showing the unpredictability
of weather windows, the Sherpas could have easily died at any time during the
making of the film. The lead climber was under pressure to film and he even said away from the group in the film, he thought success was 50/50 on K2, he had no idea if he and the group would die, but he celebrated
before and after the climb .
14 peaks is pretty realistic
the man was special forces he is no joke
I cant imagine no better way to die. Tragic as it was, he died doing what he absolutey LOVED!
I don't think Marc loved getting thrown off a mountain and crushed by tons of ice and snow. Just my opinion.
A great young man, very poignant bio 🙏
Documentary was amazing but if that kid was alone that day he would have made it..
That’s what I thought too
R.I.P marc
It was only a matter of time, there are way too many variables for a person to be able to calculate. Nature and mountains are unpredictable, snow, avalanche, ice, rock breaking just way too much! He loved it though and that’s all that matters.
There are old climbers and there are bold climbers, but there are very few old bold climbers.
R. I. P
Very sad but he died doing what he loved 🥰
RIP MAL 🙏
This is more difficult than climbing El Capitan in Yosemite right?

@@NathanHassall ah, so you're simply just a troll trolling. Not surprised. Yes, I took your bait. Have learnt from it. (btw, liking your own comment is so freaking lame)
@@RonaiHenrik I am glad I could teach you my son. I did not like my own comment it must be some random person surfing youtube who agrees with me ..your mom perhaps. Good day.
@@NathanHassall ah yes, someone liked your comment under a comment within 2 minutes after you wrote it. On a video which gets 107 views a day. That's very likely (that was sarcasm btw). Seriously coming with "your momma" jokes? How low can you get? Go further down?

It was like an addiction, he suffered adhd.

Watch the documentary “The Alpinist” because I could tell you haven’t. If you did, you wouldn’t be saying those things.
For real his mom would encourage him... i would encourage a helmet and ropes . But marc andre is a legend did what he wanted
@Jason Webb craziest part is that he could still be here if it wasn't for an avalanche. it's crazy to think that of all the crazy things he did it was an uncontrollable circumstance that killed him.
So true. He was mentally ill and it eventually killed him.

RIP Marc
