A film by Alastair Lee
\nFeaturing Matt Helliker & Jon Bracey<\/p>\n
Dubbed ‚The Mountain God‘, the Citadel is a stunning 3000m peak in one of the
\nremaining untouched corners of the Great Alaskan Range: The Neacola Mountains.
\nDue to their typically poor conditions and remote location they are largely
\nunexplored. Matt Helliker and Jon Bracey are one the UK’s most formidable
\npartnerships in alpine climbing with many world class ascents to their names
\nfrom the UK to the Alps and the greater ranges. Their objective is to make the
\nfirst ascent of the extraordinary 1200m long north-west ridge.<\/p>\n
Adventure film maker Alastair Lee embarked upon this project with the
\nobjective to push the boundaries and capture hard alpine climbing like never
\nbefore. Employing the latest cineflex 4K technology combined with an
\ninnovative vision the final results are truly incredible; the next dimension
\nin mountain film. Citadel is a stunning visual. To match its visual prowess
\nCitadel is laced with a strong sense of narrative. Like all good stories it is
\ncharacter driven and centres around one of the most unlikely yet successful
\npartnerships in world alpinism. That of Matt Helliker and Jon Bracey.<\/p>\n
The stage is set for why two accomplished mountaineers must still seek out new
\nlines in unchartered territory where the odds are stacked heavily against
\nthem. We take a front seat and are with Matt and Jon every step of the way
\nthrough all the hardships and struggles, hopes and disappointments. What
\nunfolds is a classic narrative arc where success is snatched from the jaws of
\ndefeat.<\/p>\n
