This has been quite a ride … I’ve never worked so much on a single project. After almost half a year of work I’m proud to finally share with you the movie about Siebe and Seb’s attempt in climbing the hardest big wall on the planet.
Filming on el Cap is definitely quite a challenge, but it’s been a pretty rewarding one. Although I’m still scared of heights.
This isn’t the movie I was aiming for in the first place. I guess it never really is when filming documentaries. But I’m fairly happy with the result considering what we were able to film.
It’s also been screened a little all around the globe through many festivals, which is pretty cool for a first movie.
The link of the full video is on my profile, it’s finally released on Epic TV’s channel ! Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible. I can’t wait to do more.

and many more.

March 28 🥁🥁🥁 Squamish
Continuing the series that saw 3 top international acts come through Squamish in 2025. We decided to open the portal again with some seasoned locals to set the tone for 2026. If you’ve noticed, the themes have all centred around showcasing a particular sound that is unique to each headliner. “Variations of house” we have silently (until now) dubbed the series.
This time all three artists draw plenty of inspiration from the percussion and groove forward sound of … “Tribal house” - a night focused both sonically and aesthetically on a genre that originated in the 90s in clubs in Detroit and Chicago. Producers were experimenting by incorporating African percussion and polyrhythms over a house beat making a beautiful fusion that still resonates deeply today.
As always, feel free to express yourself as you see fit. Dress up, or don’t. Be a wallflower, or get up on stage, It all goes here.

Long time no post !
Going through my library these days and I will try to revive a few these many moments from the past few years. Cause what’s the point to take these photos if not shared ?
Here is Seb during his successful ascent of the Dawn Wall last year. I mostly filmed during that trip so these are most of the shots I took this year !
“Just making science in Greenland…” as Jaron used to say! 😁 Random pictures from camp & people of our latest mission for @imaqa_expeditions .
Alex & Jaron as photographers and help on the field. Myself as expedition leader. My partners and cofounders @kyrilwk & @alexbuslain taking care of the meticulous logistics and coordinating our scientific projects from our home base in Belgium. Our educational queen Pauline Querella now touring schools in Brussels lightning up the spark in children’s minds through hands-on workshops, cultivating their curiosity and educating them about the polar regions & sciences while inspiring them for personal growth.
At IMAQA we’re going full circle with #exploration, #research and #education !

Grateful to my longtime friend @a.eggermont for our last adventure together ! Your friendship is gold to me.
Alex and I met at university, dreamed together about endless adventuring, went our own ways for a while before regrouping in Asia after 2 years of full time traveling around the world (3 for you then!) You taught me how to climb big walls, among other things… Your self-taught ingenuity and skills at pretty much anything you put your mind up to is an endless source of inspiration to me 😉 Thanks for your crucial help on the “supraglacial lakes” mission as well as the great photos !!!

The moment Seb decided to send the crux under a snow storm.
Unfortunately I was mostly there to film, but couldn't help snapping a picture while he was resting !
👀 🥶 Après des aléas logistiques intenses, notre équipe dépêchée sur place – composée de Gilles Denis, Alex Eggermont et Jaron Pham – s’est enfin réunie.
💨 « Le vent, omniprésent dès ce premier jour, promettait déjà de nous accompagner longtemps. Prêts à affronter des conditions extrêmes, nous avons installé notre camp de base au sein de la Dark Zone, au coeur de la calotte glaciaire du Groenland, à une centaine de kilomètres de toute présence humaine. Ce jour du 25 juillet 2024 marquera le début d’une aventure et les épreuves ne faisaient que commencer… »
👉Suivez-nous pour plonger dans les défis, anecdotes et moments forts de cette mission unique !
📸 @a.eggermont et @jaronpham , vidéastes et photographes ont suivi Gilles dans son quotidien tout au long de cette nouvelle expédition scientifique.
