Federation Peak- Twenty Year Anniversary

"It’s one step at a time. It’s as simple, and as difficult, as that.”

They say time flies when you’re having fun; I can attest.

This time twenty years ago I was nearing the end of a 28-day journey into the heart of South West Tasmania, quite possibly the wildest place in Australia and home to Federation Peak.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the climb, we are released the film Gary Caganoff and I made to document the trip on YouTube for the first time.

“The Second Step” won nine International Awards back in the day, including the Grand Prize at Banff Mountain Film Festival.

If you enjoy the film, and I hope you do, please give it a like and share it on social media for me; I’d really appreciate it.

I’m also posting some of Jeremy Smiths images from the climb into a FB album here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10158291440969899&type=1&l=f832810cd4
