British explorer Leo Houlding, French climber Jean Burgun, and New Zealand cameraman Mark Sedon take on Antarctica’s Spectre, beginning with a 1,700km trek using skis and hi-tech snowkites.

After 16 harsh days (and a near-death experience), the team makes camp at the base of The Spectre, where, upon inspection, they quickly realize that their intended route up the south face will be more difficult than anticipated. Fearing weather changes and low on time for such a big-wall climb, the team begins to question their objective.
