The Last Great Climb DVD

The 2013 film from Alastair Lee is an epic to end all mountain epics, set in
the stunning mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. The feature documentary
follows top adventure climber Leo Holding with his tried and tested team of
Jason Pickles and Sean ‹Stanley› Leary as they attempt to make the first
ascent of the NE ridge of ‹the masterpiece of the range› – the majestic
Ulvetanna Peak (2931m). One of the most technically demanding climbs in one of
the world’s harshest environments.

The films tells the story of a climber’s life-long dream to reach one of the
world’s most remote and difficult summits interweaved with the fascinating
story of the mountain itself, which incredibly was only discovered in 1994.
All set against the backdrop of the current age of mountaineering where few
great lines remain unclimbed.

Every inch of this daring journey is captured by multi-award winner Alastair
Lee as we get to know the redoubtable and hilarious team. The team experience
unprecedentedly good weather but eventually the harsh conditions begin to
grind them down as inevitably the conditions become ‹less favourable› whilst
they attempt to defy the odds and complete the climb.

THE LAST GREAT CLIMB is quite simply one of the most spectacular and inspiring
mountaineering films ever made.

Including interviews from Sir Chris Bonington, Doug Scott, Conrad Anker as
well as Norwegian climbers Ivar Tolleffsen & Robert Caspersen, who first
explored the area in 1994. Main feature 60 mins; extras 20 mins.
