Timeline
Patrick Edlinger (15 June 1960 – 16 November 2012) was a professional French rock climber.
Edlinger is considered a pioneer and a legend of sport climbing.
Patrick Edlinger was born in 1960 in Dax, Landes, in southwestern France.
He was barely a teenager when he began climbing and, after obtaining his first job as a truck driver, decided he loved cliffs more than highways.
He was the second-ever climber in history to ascend routes of grade with Nymphodalle (1979), and grade with Le Toit (1981).
He was the first-ever climber in history to onsight routes of grade with Captain crochet (1982), and grade with La Polka des Ringards (1982).
He became famous in 1982 after La Vie au bout des doigts, a documentary by Jean-Paul Janssen depicting him free-soloing in Buoux.
In 1983 he made the first ascent of Ça Glisse Au Pays des Merveilles at Buoux, one of the first in France.
He won some of the first climbing competitions in history: Sportroccia in 1986, Rock Master and Snowbird in 1988.
In 1988 Patrick Edlinger won the first ever climbing competitionin the US at the 1988 International Sport Climbing Championships, Snowbird, Utah.
He is also known to the world for his films on soloing in the steep, 500m Verdon.
"Le Blond" had a smooth and beautiful style of climbing that lent itself to film.
After a near-fatal fall in 1995 from a steep-sided cove in southern France, Edlinger suffered a brief cardiac arrest.
Following this he retired from the extreme forms of free climbing and co-founded the magazine Roc 'n Wall, which served as a bible to the burgeoning European "free solo" climbing movement.
He settled close to Verdon Gorge, where the vacation rental he ran with his Slovakian-born wife Matia, Gîte l'Escales in La Palud-sur-Verdon, became a starting-point for rock climbers.
His final years were marked by a long battle against depression and alcoholism, which he described as the "greatest challenge of my life."
Edlinger died at age 52 after falling down stairs at his home.
He is survived by his wife, Maťa, and their daughter, Nastia, who was 10 years old at the time.
The French minister of sports and youth, Valérie Fourneyron, said of Edlinger, "Patrick was a pioneer in France for free climbing at a high level, a man who had a thirst for the absolute challenge. He refused to compromise and disdained conventions. He dedicated his life to his passion – climbing. He was the first to establish climbing as a true discipline of live art, paving the way for many to climb with respect for nature."
