New Climbing Film Chronicles the First Ascent Across Denali

It鈥檚 easy to find inspiration in the work of Bradford Washburn, considered perhaps the world鈥檚 most legendary aerial mountain photographer, who passed away in 2007. His photographs enthralled generations of outdoor photographers and adventurers alike, including Renan Ozturk and Freddie Wilkinson, two professional climbers, documentarians, and authors. More than 80 years after Washburn photographed Alaska鈥檚 Denali, the highest peak in the United States, the two found themselves admiring the photographs and wondering if, instead of climbing up the mountain, they could climb across it, a route known as the Tooth鈥檚 Traverse.

The new film, The Sanctity of Space, follows Ozturk and Wilkinson鈥檚 mission to complete the route while also reflecting on Washburn鈥檚 incredible life. Watch the trailer here, then be on the lookout for the film, which premieres in U.S. theaters on May 13.
