DVD Bavarian Direct - Thomas & Alexander Huber.

The brothers Alex and Thomas Huber, together with the Tyrolean Mario Walder join forces in the summer of 2012 on the island of Baffin to complete the liberation of Bavarian direct (700 m of route and originally ranked as 6b/A3) in the South Tower of Mount Asgard. Its chaining, made in roped style alternating the pitches, places this route in the second step of the difficulty in Arctic rock (with a maximum degree of 8a+, very close to the 8b that the brothers Pou and Hansjörg Auer gave to their 'The door' in Perfection Valley). The Germans solved the pitch left by the Belgians and Silvia Vidal in 2009. In the film the Huber brothers meet the German team that opened the route in 1996 and the Belgian team who almost free-climbed it in 2009.

The Huber Brothers have together with Mario Walder from East Tyrol (Austria) embarked once again on an adventurous journey.

Their goal: Solve the riddle of "Mount Asgard" on Baffin Island. They got seven weeks to do the sixty kilometres long approach and then climb the intimidating granite monolith.


In fact, no one has freed the almost 1000 meters high south face. There is a good reason: All contenders for a free ascent will have to venture to the very limit of their physical and mental abilities. It is a plan for which you have to be more than a good team. You have to be willing to not only work together, but to also give it everything you have…
