Charles Dubouloz, mountaineering star, retires at 36 with a farewell tour inspired by Walter Bonatti

Charles Dubouloz is only 36 years old, but the Frenchman is an icon of world mountaineering, a specialist in major solo winter challenges, a young man who grew up devouring mountaineering literature, and who knows all too well that premature death awaits the best climbers. Last Sunday, December 14, he reached the summit of Mont Blanc 18 pounds lighter after spending six days and five nights on the Grand Pilier d'Angle, the first feat of a trilogy that will be his farewell, his tribute.
