Climb the Asgard - Berghaus & Crab climb to new heights

The Asgard Project is a ground breaking film which follows top climber Leo Houlding's ambitious expedition to make the first free ascent of Mt Asgard's daunting north face - regarded as one of the most difficult big walls in the world.

Working with leading film maker Alastair Lee the DVD of this unrelenting epic is available to order your here now.

For most of the year the fjords on Baffin Island are filled with frozen sea ice, but for a short period in the summer the ice melts and with 24 hours of daylight the area becomes a climbers paradise with mile high granite walls and amazing scenery.

Berghaus Athlete Leo Holding and his team supported by Berghaus wanted to engage a wider audience and bring this amazing feat of skill, endurance and film making to all.

Crab Creative with help from the team at Berghaus developed an in depth online game allowing users to catch snap shots of training, the equipment used and a game which expressed some of the dangers faced by the climbers.
