The Lorax Project, climbing and base jumping in Tasmania

Frenchmans Cap is the highest mountain in south-west Tasmania, in one of the wildest and most spectacular areas on the island south of Australia. Reached via a 25km trek, its 350m face is breached by a series of climbs including the Lorax, a 3 star line first ascended in 1988 by Garn Cooper and Peter Steane. In 2015 a group of six friends decided not only to repeated this rarely-climbed line, but also to BASE jump off the mountain’s summit. Their story, told by Mission Control Collective in The Lorax Project, is now online. The film is award-winning, for obvious reasons.
