Eisner Nominated 2021 At sixteen, bivouacked on a mountainside
beneath a sky filled with stars, Jean-Marc Rochette has already
begun measuring himself against some of Europe’s highest peaks.
The Aiguille Dibona, the Coup de Saber, La Meije: the summits of
the Massif des Écrins, to which he escapes as a teenager, spark
both exhilaration and fear. At times, they are a playground for
adventure. At others, they are a battlefield. The young climber is
acutely aware that death lurks in the frozen corridors of the
French Alps. In Altitude, Jean-Marc Rochette tells the story of his
formative years, as a climber and as an artist. Part coming-of-age
story, part love letter to the Alps, this autobiographical graphic
novel captures the thrill and the terror invoked by high mountains,
and considers one man’s obsession with getting to the top of
them.
