First Balloon Flight over Everest - 1991, filmed by highly acclaimed adventure film maker Leo Dickinson. Winner of "Silver Gentian" award at the Trento Mountain Film Festival.

In a field near the Nepalese hamlet of Gokyo, four men climb into two fragile wicker baskets and pour flame into their hot air balloons. Rising powerfully into the skies, their crafts follow a course towards the highest place on earth - Everest.

For Leo Dickinson and Chris Dewhirst, the cameraman and pilot in one of the balloons, the flight will settle old scores after three previous attempts and several life threatening crashes.

The expedition planning took some 10 years to come to fruition. And the expedition itself involved no less than 150 porters, 50 yaks, various meteorologists, intense arguments and many bemused locals. This extraordinary documentary follows Leo Dickinson's journey from Kathmandu in an old fashioned flying machine, which eventually crash lands in a remote corner of Tibet. You will see some of the most spectacular footage imaginable and the most astonishing mountain footage we are ever likely to see, as the balloon drifts over the highest point on earth.

52 minutes, color, NTSC format, digitally remastered.

World record BASE jump off the Great Trango Tower in the Karakorum, Pakistan, in 1992 by Australians Glenn Singleman and Nic Feteris. Filmed by highly acclaimed adventure film maker Leo Dickinson. This film has won 21 major international film awards.

Those scenes where the baddies chasing James Bond fall off a mountain top are, understandably enough, enacted by dummies. "The Most Dangerous Jump in the World" from the top of a 6,237ft cliff-face - is undertaken by real people, though you might still feel justified in calling them dummies! Things don't go as they planned. They tumble out of control and accelerate to 125 miles an hour while only inches away from the vertical wall of granite.....

Nic Feteris does BASE jumping for fun. After ten years of these hair raising plunges he is looking for a fresh challenge. With his partner Glenn Singleman, who has never BASE jumped before, he decides to climb the tallest cliff in the world and then launch himself off it. The Great Trango Tower in Pakistan has a vertical drop of over 6,000 feet high and looks awesome. The story of the months of preparation, the three-week climb and the final moment of truth makes nail-biting film, a tribute not only to the derring-do of Feteris and Singleman but of the film crew which brilliantly captures their fear and exhilaration. The film is nicely paced with a measured build-up to the aching climb up the mountain before that heart-stopping leap into space and a descent which seemed to go on forever. Few film sequences will remain fixed in the mind quite so long as that one.

BASEClimb is more than just a great film about an amazing feat, it is a warm, personal account of a truly extraordinary adventure. Presented as part of National Geographic's Voyager III Series, it has been watched by over 100 million TV viewers in eighty countries.
