Skiing The Seven Summits.
ABOUT THE Project
The Last Ride Project is an ambitious world’s first in global ski mountaineering and an exploratory documentary investigating catastrophic deglaciation and its effects on the broader climate emergency. We aim to become the first people to climb and ski the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents - from Kilimanjaro at the peak of Africa to Mt. Vinson in the far-gone plains of Antarctica, and culminating in a nail-biting winter expedition on Mt. Everest.
Tragically we will most likely be the last people to ski The Seven Summits, as their historic glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate. For example, scientists project that the ice fields on Kilimanjaro will be gone within a decade, and the glaciers atop Puncak Jaya will have disappeared by this time next year.
