Alastair Lee
Film maker and climber Alastair Lee has spent the past 20 years pursuing rocks and mountains around the world. His genuine passion for the mountain environment is best expressed through his superb photography and innovative film work. Alastair is also renowned as one of the circuit's most entertaining and outspoken lecturers, culminating with a famous performance at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in 2010.
Alastair has climbed in all seven of the world's continents and has also written and published two climbing guide-books and five photographic books.
As a filmmaker with over 60 international awards, Alastair has made 10 movies so far: "Made in China" 2001, "Climbing in Morocco" 2003, "I Am Climbing" 2004, and "Twice Upon a Time in Bolivia" 2004. In 2005 after the success of working with David Halsted, they created "Storms - The Movie" 2005. Their 2006 project "Set in Stone", was a big success and Alastair went solo again for his 2007 project 'PSYCHE' which won two awards at Kendal and a further seven awards around the world. Alastair then completed his third 'proper' climbing film 'On Sight' which has seen rave reviews and won the prestigious Grand Prize and Best Climbing film at the 2008 Kendal Mountain Film Festival. In 2009 Alastair teamed up with top climber Leo Houlding on his most ambitious film to date; 'The Asgard Project' which has won 22 international awards and had a UK TV broadcast on Discovery's freeview channel 'Quest'. Then in 2010 PSYCHE II scooped the Grand Prize and Best Climbing Film at the Kendal Mountain Film Festival.
