The North Face — Lhotse — climb the mountain in your browser

02Problem

The North Face wanted a product story that didn't read like a product page. The ask: place the gear on the mountain it was designed for.

03Approach

We sourced topo data for Lhotse, baked atmospheric lighting passes, and choreographed a scroll-driven ascent. Kit moments are scroll-locked at altitude; product detail is one tap away.

04Outcome

Sub-2s LCP on mid-tier Android. Best-performing brand campaign page in the season.
