Face au Vide: In the collective imagination, mountaineering is seen as an elitist and dangerous activity. When the mainstream press talks about mountaineering, it is generally
to relate a drama or an exploit. The mountaineers are then placed in two categories. On the one hand, reckless supermen, engaged in a death struggle with the mountains.
On the other, irresponsible unconscious people, that it is too often necessary to get out of a bad patch by mobilizing important means of rescue.
