THE LAST MOUNTAIN

9PM, BBC2

In 1995, Jim Ballard took his children – Tom, six, and Kate, four – on an expedition to K2’s base camp to say farewell to their mother, the mountaineer Alison Hargreaves (right), who

had died while climbing in the Himalayas that year. Tragically, 24 years later, Tom, who had grown up to be one of the world’s greatest climbers, was also dead, having perished at almost the same age, in the same mountain range. In this emotional film, which draws on 25 years of intimate, unseen family archive, Jim and Kate talk movingly about the impact of their loved ones’ deaths.
