Retrospective of the programme of the Spanish TV 'Al filo de lo imposible'. Everest, South Pole and North Pole - a trio known as the Three Poles of the Earth - was the first major challenge of 'On the Edge of the Impossible'. As lovers of the great spaces of the Earth, the team was attracted by the possibility of reaching higher or following a longer itinerary through the frozen deserts. The program sought to go one step further and experience this journey to the opposite poles. They knew that Everest, as well as the Arctic and Antarctica, were barely pointing to a process of transformation that, for various reasons, has now become a serious danger of destruction.

What makes Greenland an exceptional place for adventure is that it also has numerous mountains accessible from its fjords with walls whose verticality frightens. Of all the climbing options offered by the Tasermiut Fjord, we opted for Nalumasortoq, the 'Great White Wall'. With an altitude of 2,000 metres and three spectacular pillars, its 600-metre vertical granite wall attracts powerful attention. Opening a new way in this beautiful wall became our goal.

An imposing wall more than three hundred metres high through which some of the most difficult climbing routes in the Pyrenees run. Víctor Esteller and José María Esquirol 'Tato', climb one of them. At the same time José Isidro Gordito, at the controls of his paraglider, watches them from the air.

Psicobloc is the name invented by the Mallorcan Miquel Riera, who has been practicing it in Mallorca since 1978. The British call it Deep Water Soloing. It is climbed without rope, as in short block climbing routes, but unlike this one, the lengths would force you to use it if there was no water underneath. Even so, the possibility of falling from 15, 20 or even more meters places us in a wild scenario with a risk of injury so real that it involves a hard psychological cost. Malta is the place chosen by the 'On the Edge of the Impossible' team to put the activity into practice and enjoy this first adventure.

Since the beginning of the series 'Al filo de lo imposible', the Pyrenees have been one of the team's favourite places to practice different disciplines with a common denominator: Adventure. Over flying the massif on board the balloon Al filo 1 piloted by Laureano Casado. Descend the Ara River in Kayak. To enjoy with a trepidante descent in bicycle, these are some of the activities that the team faces in this chapter.

The Huesca town of Benasque houses the headquarters of the Spanish School of High Mountain, this center is the place where training is given to components of Spanish mountaineering teams.

Pamir, in Persian means 'roof of the world' and is actually the union of the mountain ranges of Tian Shan, Karakorum, Kunlun and Indu Kush, located west of the Himalayas. Four mountaineers, Pepe, Emilio, Antonio and Benito, travel from the Murcian town of Caravaca de la Cruz with the aim of conquering one of the most emblematic peaks of the Pamir knot: Lenin Peak.

South of Briançon in the French Alps, during the winter months there are numerous waterfalls of ice, among the more than 20 areas of this icy labyrinth, this episode of 'Al filo de lo impossible' will focus on three of them. Due to their characteristics, they will still maintain the conditions required to climb them. True challenges in the era of its pioneers, today are considered routes of medium-high degree so apparently acceptable for some, and impossible for others. Carles González and Xavi Ayuso, two of the best spanish climbers of the moment take on the challenge.

Episode of 'Al filo de lo imposible' that follows the dream of two blind men: to be the first mountaineers with visual disabilities to reach the summit of the Muztagh Ata, the second highest peak in the Kunlun mountains (7,546 meters), in the Chinese Himalayas. Never before a blind person has summited this mountain. They are accompanied by four guides, several of them belonging to the Spanish High Mountain Military Group, who will help both of them achieve their goal.

Climbing documentary that delves into the most authentic Morocco, passing through the small villages of the mountains and their valleys. An intense journey full of contrasts through a territory crossed with villages, nomadic camps, gorges and gorges, until you reach Taghia, a small Berber village surrounded by large walls where lovers of vertical challenges find paradise. There we find 'Au nom de la reforme', a route to climb without other help than hands and feets. In this same area the snow that melts with the arrival of spring, feeds rivers that form aggressive canyons and ravines. The descent of the Ahanesal river will be another of the objectives of this episode of 'Al filo de lo imposible'.
