The Last Great Climb (2013)

Plot

Set against the breathtaking landscape of Queen Maud Land in Antarctica, this documentary chronicles Leo Houlding and his seasoned climbing team—Jason Pickles and Sean ‘Stanley’ Leary—as they strive to conquer the NE ridge of Ulvetanna Peak. Standing at 2,931 meters, this formidable ascent is renowned for its technical challenges in one of Earth’s most inhospitable environments. Blending Houlding’s lifelong dream with the mountain's intriguing history—discovered only in 1994—the film explores a pivotal moment in mountaineering, where few untraveled routes remain in an era defined by adventure and exploration.
