Challenge:
The Asgard Project,
Baffin Island

Ultimate performance

60 miles away from civilisation on Baffin Island, a mile of vertical granite sits inside the Arctic Circle. This is Mount Asgard, one of the most unforgiving mountains in the world, and its north face, one of the most perilous.

When Berghaus athlete Leo Houlding decided to embark on The Asgard Project, the first free ascent of Mount Asgard's north face, his clothing requirements were every bit as demanding as the climb itself.

From the most dangerous testing lab in the world comes the ultimate in lightweight performance clothing

Technical Innovation without Limits

The MtnHaus development team doubled their usual prototype stages to deliver the Mount Asgard Smock.

Multiple samples were reviewed and refined over an 18 month period leading up to the Asgard Project.

Rigorously tested on Mount Huashan

Testing was both rigorous and extensive including a historic first ascent of Mount Huashan in China by Leo Houlding as well as by Chamonix guides and Berghaus staff.
