- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of swords, quests and kingdoms and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. A proper quest, with a world big enough to get lost in. Same wavelength as Free Solo or The Dawn Wall.
- The mood
- Exciting, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 5 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
A road movie that celebrates the best of British trad climbing. From the bold Northumberland sandstone to the raging sea cliffs of Gogarth, four World-class climbers embark on a road-trip to attempt some of the most fierce and inspiring routes in the UK. Cinematic filmmaking, cutting edge traditional climbing and a 7.5 ton converted truck – the Odyssey begins!
