Enchainment (2022) Climbing all NZ's 3000m peaks in one continuous push
Inspired by the human-powered enchainments achieved in Europe, in early summer 2021, Alastair McDowell & Hamish Fleming set out on a quest to enchain New Zealand’s 24 highest mountains above 3000 metres in a continuous 31-day push. This would be a transalpine journey, from west coast jungle to high-alpine summits, traversing some of New Zealand’s most dramatic landscapes. But with the clock ticking down, fatigue mounting and storms arriving, would they be able to complete the project before their time, weather & luck ran out?

After a rest day at Lyell Hut, we set off at 3am to get up the Lyell icefall before the sun starts cooking it, up over Rangitata Col, down and up to Lambert Col, skirt across the edge of the Garden of Allah, across the Garden of Eden towards Perth Col where we aim for Disappointment Saddle and down the Havelock glacier. A glorious 21 hour day, one to remember.

Next vlog we head up the Lyell Icefall and into the Garden of Allah and Garden of Eden.

A bit late to get this one uploaded but late last winter we headed up into the Liebig Range and spent a few nights camping and exploring the area. Awesome terrain with stunning views of Aoraki Mt Cook, Mt Sefton & the Malte Brun range.

Just before Christmas we had 3 days spare so we headed up the Tasman to try and climb a rock route on Malte Brun, we massively underestimated how long the approach would take with heavy packs & the trip turned out to be a suffer fest albeit with great scenery.

Winner of the ‘Grass Roots’ Award at the 2021 NZ Mountain Film Festival Four Canterbury based climbers set off into the heart of the New Zealand Southern Alps to explore a rarely climbed peak with a hope to climb a new route. Their journey takes them through the infamous ‘Garden of Eden’ ice plateau, across ‘The Great Unknown’ and through the thick, wild vegetation of the West Coast bush.
