April 2019
Phase one of the filming is complete. I headed out to Switzerland at the end of March and joined Becky and Lou to kick off the project. We battled heavy snow, avalanche risks, poor weather days, broken equipment and started the tally of 4000m peaks on skis. It was a challenging couple of weeks for me with a lot to carry and operating in some pretty cold temperatures – going through the footage now that I am home though it all feels worth it!
The image on the left is a screen grab in the pre-dawn light as we skin towards the summit of the Bishorn.
The team are aiming to climb an average of five 4000m peaks per week which they need to juggle around work, real life, relationships etc. So far they are on target and you can follow their progress on their Facebook page – see the links below.
