First Accent features today's top rock climbers as they lay siege to steep faces and soaring alpine walls in pursuit of climbing's pinnacle achievement – the First Ascent. Mortimer brings us on a globetrotting journey to capture the laughs, the tears and the truly radical feats of men and woman on climbing's cutting edge.

The film takes us from the high Himalayan peaks to deep water soloing on the coast of Thailand, and from the sobering heights of the Black Canyon to Timmy "Urban Ape" O'Neill's Monkey business on the buildings of Hollywood. A preview segment from First Ascent premiered in January 2006 at the Barry Corbett Film Festival in Jackson, WY and won the festival's Audience Award and its Grand Prize.
