How on earth did they film it? This is the question that springs to mind when watching the ascent of The Cartwright Connection, the 1400m high new route established on the Mount Hunter's iconic Moonflower Buttress from 13 - 18 May 2011 by British alpinists Matt Helliker and Jon Bracey.

As filmmaker Alastair Lee states, the result is "some exciting insight into what it takes to climb a route like this and how incredibly fit and dedicated Matt and Jon are.
