Our Judges say:
Detailed technical mountain climbing moviePaul Hodgson Music Judge
I've never seen a film that captures an expedition in this level of vivid detail. Nothing is held back, objective danger, injury, and tensions within the team, even at 7,400m.Anna Paxton
A mountaineering and adventure film like no other. Go full on behind the scenes of an incredibly dangerous, draumatic and mind questioning Saga. What would you have done?Ed Birch Director of Salt-Street productions
An authentically epic mountain expedition tale. God it’s dangerous up there, both humanity and nature threaten....Claire Carter Writer, Film Officer for Kendal Mountain Festival, 'Creative Consultant'.
