Big wall epic in the realm of the gods

PLAY TRAILER
REMASTERED FOR 2020:

the film has had a complete regrade with cutting edge colour software for an enhanced viewing experience.



Leo Houlding's ambitious project to make a first free ascent on the North Tower of the incredible 'Mount Asgard' on Baffin Island deep in the Arctic.


Leo teams up with fellow big wall climbing god Stanley Leary, the duo hope to make a wingsuit descent from the summit.


Arriving late in the season the trip soon begins to go wrong, after a spectacular arrival skydiving over Mt Asgard, conditions turn against the team where just reaching the base of the climb becomes a massive challenge.


Prior to the Baffin trip we embark on training trips to Riglos in Spain, Brento in Italy and El Cap in Yosemite.


This groundbreaking film, produced by multi-award winner Alastair Lee, is an all out spectacular, documenting a truly cutting edge adventure with all its twists and turns.


Running time: 1 hour 8 minutes.
