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.

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.

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!

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

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!

What he loves most was his girlfriend, even more than he loved climbing.

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

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 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
