Lone climber Marc-André Leclerc has never been the center of everyone's attention. But this 23-year-old from Canada has made some of the most extreme solo climbs in the world, scaling remote and inaccessible cliffs. Despite such accomplishments, he was rarely written about in the media. No cameras, no insurance and no margin for error - these are the basic principles of Leclerc's solo ascents.
