Summit

Summit was a suspense series produced by TotalAccess during its operations of London Weekend franchise EWT between 2005 and 2006.

Set in a remote and geographically uncharted area of Asia, a group of geologists are charged with the task of climbing the newly discovered Centurion Mountain, its peak some 100 feet taller than Everest. It is a dangerous and unyielding assault as it is, without the hidden threat of a government mole, hired by a secret agency. The agency, you see, knew about Centurion's existence for years, and had been using it as a basis to hide valuable nuclear and geothermal weaponry for a major world power.

The mole's instructions are to stop the Centurion expedition at any and all costs, including murder, to prevent the secrets hidden within the crag from being made public.

Series One involved the trek up the mountain and the many hazards involved therein. By the end of the thirteenth episode, the mysterious double agent's identity was revealed, as was the truth about the mountain. It ended with the last surviving member of the crew in a fierce struggle in the oxygen-deprived atmosphere on the peak of Centurion, eventually pushing the double agent over the side.

Series Two, again compiled into thirteen episodes, saw the heroine being rescued off the peak by the agency hired to thwart the mission. Held in captivity within the bowels of the hollowed out crag, she fights to escape and alert the UK government about the massive, world-changing plot taking place in this uncharted territory.
