the ultimate climb

Ever since he was a teenager, when he was inspired by the efforts of Bear Grylls, Geordie Stewart has been fired by a hugely ambitious desire to climb the highest mountain in each of the world's seven continents. The Ultimate Climb is an absorbing one-off film that features exclusive access to the footage Geordie shot on his epic quest, including numerous breath-taking moments. It tracks Geordie as he embarks on the greatest test of all, as the intrepid explorer tries to complete his seven summit dream, by climbing the highest and most famous mountain in the world: Everest. If he can achieve his goal he will set a new record of becoming the youngest Briton ever to climb all seven summits.
