The Asgard Project :: Our objective is to produce a groundbreaking film about the first free ascent of Asgard’s NWface, regarded as one of the most difficult big walls in the world.

Watch this sneak peek of the Asgard Project film and see the team sky dive in to the arctic circle and get an idea of the epic struggle which awaited them. The film is due for release on 20 November 2009 at Kendal Mountain FIlm Festival.

Success!! Leo and the team have completed the ascent of Mount Asgard and are heading back to the nearest town - sore and tired, but otherwise ok.

The team have now set off on their attempt to climb Mount Asgard and this picture was taken through the telescope at base camp of them making their way to the start of the climb.

The team are facing difficult conditions with no visibility, snow and plummeting temperatures.  In this situation there’s no choice but to keep warm and stay occupied…

Leo, Sean and Carlos sky dived in to the national park but the rest of the team have a gruelling 5 day hike to reach Mount Asgard – although it is one of the greatest treks in the world!

To make things worse two of the team had to return to Pang to collect more portaledges as two were damaged in the airdrop.  Mount Asgard finally came in to view after 7 days of tough hiking.

Leo travelled to Yosemite to meet his climbing partner Sean 'Stanley' Leary and to get some final training climbs done before the start of the Asgard Project. Inclement weather didn't help their attempts but they still got some tough training done and some great shots...
