Each hourlong film documents a different group of elite athletes - skiers and snowboarders, kayakers, free climbers, and surfers – pushing the boundaries of human ability... and ultimately determining if the pursuit is worth the risk.
S1 E1: Into The Void
Snowboarders and a lone skier travel to Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park to attempt an unprecedented descent of Mount Bertha amid hazardous winter weather. But when a whiteout exacerbates the already treacherous conditions, the entire mission is thrown into doubt.
S1 E2: Raging Torrent
Elite kayakers venture deep within Ecuador's vast Llanganates National Park to attempt the first whitewater descent of the Chalupas River. With no map, guide, and only one point of emergency access to the outside world, the athletes must rely on one another.
S1 E3: Reaching For The Sky
Climbers travel to Kyrgyzstan's Ak-Su Valley to attempt a route on Pik Slesova that has never been successfully free climbed by a single individual. But the partners' dream mission is jeopardised by a COVID-19 diagnosis.
S1 E4: The Great Unknown
Surfers travel to Africa's West Coast in hopes of establishing its raw, untouched coastline as the next big wave surf location. Forced to be entirely self-sufficient, the team tracks the swell, monitors the conditions, and dodges unexpected storms.
