The compelling story of 30-year-old climber Tom Ballard who disappeared on one of the Himalayas most deadly mountains in February 2019. Tom was the son of mountaineer Alison Hargreaves, who perished on K2 in 1995. Mother and son, two of the greatest climbers of all time, died at almost the same age in the same mountain range, both doing what they loved best. They now lie forever encased in the ice of the high Himalayas. Left behind to cope with the enduring tragedy are Tom's sister, Kate, and their father, Jim.
In 1995, Jim Ballard took his children, six-year-old Tom and four-year-old Kate, on an expedition to K2's basecamp to say farewell to their mother. The result was a BBC film, Alison's Last Mountain. Now, The Last Mountain follows Kate Ballard on a paralle Documentary!
