A LIFE ASCENDING explores the highs and lows of living life on the edge as mountain ski guide Ruedi Beglinger and his family deal with the ever-present dangers of their dad working in the avalanche prone Rocky Mountains. Filmed against the stunning backdrop of their home on a remote glacier in British Columbia, their story is heart-breaking, uplifting and thought-provoking. It examines the dilemma at the crux of all adventure sports and exploration - what price is worth paying for living life to the full?
