Abraham Brothers

1915 · 0h 4m · Documentary

Skip it unless you're a hardcore climbing history buff or silent film completist. This is a fascinating historical artifact showing pioneering Lake District mountaineers, but at its core it's a short documentary from the early 1900s with minimal narrative and no dialogue—it's more museum piece than entertainment.

Plot

Extract from a Pathe Review showing a team of men, including the Abraham Brothers, George and Ashley, climbing lower slopes before ascending Napes Needle, Great Gable. Climbers pose with their boots for the camera then tackle the rock face, including a view of the Wasdale valley below. George Abraham leads the Arête Route. Finally the mountaineers are seen reaching the top of the Needle. George and Ashley Abraham, the brother climbers and photographers from Keswick, recorded in pictures the evolution of early rock-climbing in the English Lake District.

Director: George Abraham

Cast: George Abraham, Ashley Abraham
