Marc-Andre Leclerc - The Man Who Soloed Cerro Torre | Climbing Daily, Ep. 573 

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.

It’s so sad how little video and footage of him is even out there, he was truly a one of a kind

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

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.

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!

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.

An Amazing young man. Watching him changed the way I think about somethings. Rest on peace🌻

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 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 went for a nearly 45 minute walk today, that was a really cool adventure

Man, I just saw the doc on him. Incredible, fearless. 😥

He learned to climb in my gym. I would see him from time to time in the gym. Weird to think he is gone.

what is more amazing is that he travelled with no money.

RIP beautiful soul ❤

One of the sickest Alpinist ever . Rest In the Mountains.

Marcs climbing and form was immaculate and sublime.

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.

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.

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.

R. I. P. Marc. Yes, I just watched The Alpinist, and my heart melted. I can’t believe that happened to him. I’m still shocked by that. I’m super sad and I sincerely send my condolences to Brette and Marc’s family. You will be missed.

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.

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

Amazing guy ,his my inspiration to keep going in my life in my hard moments

Rest In Peace, such a beautiful soul

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

it stinks that we lost him so young & there isnt enough footage of this master.

Just saw the Alpinist not knowing nothing about Marc. I couldn't believe the ending. It was so sad. RIP Marc.

Wherever you are, heavenly kudos, human being...

Rest in peace, Marc.

THE ALPINIST : Magnifique reportage... MARC ANDRE LECLERC a rejoint son paradis qu'il aimait tant. Je suis sur que de la haut il veille sur sa petit brette harringtor. quelle philosophie, quel bonheur même si ça se finit de faç on tragique. peace Marc traduction : Magnificent report ... MARC ANDRE LECLERC returned to his paradise which he loved so much. I'm sure he's watching over his little harringtor from above. what a philosophy, what happiness even if it ends in a tragic way. peace Mark

My fear of heights makes this so incredible. Truly remarkable athletes and absolutely fearless. Wow. Wow wow wow wow

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

The Netflix movie about Marc is really good. Rip marc andre

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.

AWE!!! I miss Marc...he left this world too soon. He was a beautiful person; he had a beautiful smile, and he is a legend. Rest in Peace-miss ya

What a life to live.

Rest In peace Marc. What a spirit.

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.

I’m sure his family would rather have him around than just the little bits of video and the glory of climbs that now mean nothing

I just watched " The Alpinist". I was devastated when I saw the end! I was not expecting it. He truly was a beautiful, adventurous human being.

Semplicemente GRANDE

Incredible climber.

Rest In Peace

Such an inspiration!

Wow that cristall ice is so beautifull

Marc is beautiful human. And he is GOAT.

Marc Andre was probably the most skilled climber ever.

MAL is a Special soul and 1 of the bravest most gifted climbers of all times. RIP Brother.

Невероятный человек

RIP Marc

Best climber ever Marc-Andre Leclerc 🙌♥️

Totalement ébloui par cette personnalité, j'ai pleuré sa disparition tellement il était beau dans sa personnalité et son art de grimper ! Adieu Marco

So interesting images !

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.

Rip my guy. You live in the mountains now. May you look over the rest of us ❤️

A true free spirit.

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

Super inspiring

Rest in peace Marc Andre

Amazing Chile🇨🇱

Marc is a legend mate one love to his family and friends

Marc es el mejor escalador de todos los tiempos. Aunque murió muy joven, nadie ha logrado hacer lo que él hizo

RIP

Documentary was amazing but if that kid was alone that day he would have made it..

The alpinist reminded me of the grizzly man in the fact that they didnt die until they brought someone along for the adventure.

RIP. Alawys will be one of the few best in the world.

rip LEGEND

Marc was the true definition of a free spirit.

RIP, Marc-Andre Leclerc !

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.

What an awesome person mark andre was,

This is more difficult than climbing El Capitan in Yosemite right?

Rest In Peace Marc

I cant imagine no better way to die. Tragic as it was, he died doing what he absolutey LOVED!

Very sad but he died doing what he loved 🥰

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

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 ?

How old is Marc-Andre Leclerc? And what country is he from?

R. I. P

A great young man, very poignant bio 🙏

RIP MAL 🙏

R.I.P marc

What's with the topless models in the back ground 🤣🤣🤣 London style my son.

You can't prepare for an avalanche. So sad he is gone. 🙏

Alien

You are missed…

Body never found

He started taking his craft seriously at 15? What a loser🥰😊

a little boring for my taste but it looks easy so at least there's that.

.

The way he climbed and chances he took, would only lead to his death. Can’t keep taking the chances he took

Climbing or Russian roulette?

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

*Ueli last year and now Marc-André!*

RIP Marc
