 Synopsis

In 1982 bad weather left Mark Inglis and Phil Doole trapped for thirteen days in a crevasse, close to the summit of Aoraki/ Mt Cook. No Mean Feat chronicles the path taken by Inglis since - from rescue, and the discovery he would lose his lower limbs, to his reinvention as research scientist, winemaker, and paralympic cyclist. In 2001 cameras followed Inglis back to Cook, where he attempted another climb using custom-designed prosthetic legs. Topped off by stunning aerial footage of Mt Cook, No Mean Feat won best documentary at the 2003 NZ TV Awards.
