Gee Atherton is back with Ridgeline VII, and this time the team heads to Nepal. Filmed over 18 days in Upper Mustang, The Last Forbidden Kingdom follows Gee and the crew into one of the most remote environments they’ve taken on so far.
Long ridgelines, loose terrain, and descents that run for hundreds of metres. Some features were built, including a 75ft canyon gap in Tange, but much of the riding wasn’t. Just natural lines straight down the fall line through gullies and chutes.
A lot of the riding took place above 4,000 metres, which changed how the team approached the project. Slower pace, harder recovery, and a different kind of challenge compared to previous Ridgeline trips.
For this one, Gee rode the Atherton A.200 downhill bike throughout. Not the easiest option for the hike, but the right one once the wheels were pointing down.
