Recently, Helias Millerioux of France was invited to the Banff Mountain Film Festival to share his views about the future of alpinism. We spoke to him in an exclusive interview, largely about that topic, and came away impressed by his thoughtfulness.<\/p>\n

Millerioux won a Piolet d’Or in 2018 for an impressive 2,200m new route on the Nuptse massif. It was rated ED+, the hardest in the alpine classic graduation. He still climbs in the Himalaya and Karakoram every year, always pursuing high-difficulty climbs in alpine style.<\/p>\n

With this pure approach, of course, failure is much more common than success in mountaineering. He walked away without a summit, for example, on Trivor<\/a> (Batura range, Karakoram) with Jannick Grazianni in 2024, and on the West Face of Manaslu<\/a> with Charles Dubouloz and Symon Welfringer in 2022.<\/p>\n
