The Lost Mountain
A Project with Majka Burhardt, Sarah Garlick, and Paul Yoo.
Majka Burhardt and Sarah Garlick have spent a combined 25 years as climbers and storytellers driving at a single question: Can adventure better the world? Majka has pursued the answer through the lens of cultural exchange, and Sarah through the lens of science. Now, these two adventurers are bringing their views together to collaborate on a new multimedia initiative: The Lost Mountain. Join Majka, Sarah, and acclaimed independent director Paul Yoo on this jouney.
The Lost Mountain is a film about the isolated granite peaks of northern Mozambique and a motley crew of rock climbers, scientists, and conservationists who explore this unknown terrain.

- Expedition resulted in the discovery of at least three candidate new species, awaiting confirmation: a frog, a skink, and a gecko
- Identified numerous important species of reptiles, amphibians, insects, and plants
- Anticipated results, beyond the description of new life, include new biogeographical links among the northern Mozambican and southern Malawian inselbergs, and extended ranges for East African species
