Maria Island Walk

Mark Savage returns to Federation Peak in Tasmania with an intrepid team of adventurers to undertake his second attempt at scaling the notoriously dangerous Blade Ridge, an aesthetically pleasing line that defeated him twenty-four years previously. To accomplish a world first, the team undertakes their attempt in mid-winter. Their seventeen-day expedition plays out during Tasmania’s wettest winter on record, in the heart of the unforgiving wilderness of the Southwest. Collaborating with videographers Dan Haley and Olivia Page to film the expedition, Winter on the blade is Simon Bischoff's first major film.
