Summary

More than eighty years after Brad Washburn first photographed Denali in Alaska, climbing buddies Renan Ozturk and Freddie Wilkinson look at some of Washburn’s images and have this crazy idea: rather than go up, their dream is to go sideways — across the range’s most forbidding peaks, the Moose’s Tooth massif. It’s a decidedly new school way to explore the same landscape Washburn first discovered.

As they pioneer the route over the course of two expeditions, enduring freezing bivvies, cut ropes, and rockfall along the way, their desire to be the first to complete the audacious line grows into an obsession.

The choice of the festival

Photographer Bradford Washburn was the first to photograph the great Alaskan peaks from a plane in the 1950s. Three mountaineers, Renan Ozturk, Freddie Wilkinson and Zach Smith, inspired by one of these photos, set off on a major traverse of Moose’s Tooth. An uncertain and dangerous climb. This film captivated our selection team with its’ embodiment of the values of our festival. The film weaves together history, great characters and huge technical achievement with spectacular images.
