"Adventures in Real Time" Story telling as it happens, shot and edited in the field with solar energy & sent via satellite modem from the ridge-top basecamp. Power and satellite connectivity were the major cruxes of the whole production.
This is the last installation, the summit success of an expedition to the highest peak in Malaysia, Mt. Kinabalu. The North Face team climbers Mark Synnott, Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin, Alex Honnold and Kevin Thaw establish a first ascent on a 2,500ft big-wall.
