With the premiere of ‘The Last Great Climb’ this week, Leo Houlding and Alastair Lee have – in Doug Scott’s words – “taken climbing films to a whole new level”. We spoke to Houlding over the summer about the incredible logistics and skill required to not only climb the fearsome north east ridge of Ulvetanna, but to film the whole adventure as well. This, the resulting interview, is a fascinating insight into the planning and execution of one of the most daring and ambitious expeditions ever attempted, led by a climber/adventurer at the peak of his powers.
The Last Great Climb receives its first public screening at the Kendal Mountain Festival this weekend – head over to the website to check availability of this and the other films being shown.
