18:00 My Experience

With no experience of multi-pitch climbing, Hannah Morris - known best for indoor bouldering - sets out to successfully climb a 100 meter climbing route on the side of the Verzasca Dam in Ticino, Swizterland.

The route - set as part of the Red Bull Dual Ascent event - is three pitches long, and completely surreal. It is a man-made route with artificial climbing holds bolted on the side on a sheer concrete face, a daunting route, even for the most experienced pro climbers, set in the wild and beautiful Ticino valley.

Follow as Hannah and Nathan learn how to sport climb, embrace their fears, and try to scale the iconic Red Bull route.
