Episode of Expedition with Steve Backshall, a series in which the naturalist and explorer Steve Backsahll takes us on a mission to visit parts of the world yet to be explored. The episode shows the second part of his adventure in Oman. Steve and an elite team of rock climbers head to the desert of southern Oman to attempt the first ascent of a towering escarpment. There, in the Dhofar Mountains, the team will encounter one of Earth’s rarest animals, the Arabian leopard. The other Oman episode of the series follows Steve into an Arabian desert canyon that no human has ever explored.

Adventurer and naturalist Steve Backshall embarks on one of the most dramatic and dangerous expeditions ever filmed by a BBC crew. His mission is to explore Venezuela's Tepuis - ancient, sheer-sided mountains, lost worlds cut off from the jungle below. With an elite team of rock climbers, Steve attempts the first ascent of an unclimbed wall on a remote Tepui to search for wildlife on the summit. But nobody could have predicted what would happen, nor the kinds of decisions they'd be forced to make. At the end of the documentary, Steve reunites with the climbing team for a spectacular finale: an epic abseil alongside the Angel Falls - the highest waterfall on earth.

John Arran and Shane Ohly are on a mission. Who is going to crack first?

In 1970, climber/poet Ed Drummond and climbing partner Oliver Hill, spent 7 days making their way to the top of a wild and remote 1150’ sea cliff at St John’s Head on the Island of Hoy. Forty years later, Scottish climber Dave MacLeod sets out to climb the cliff in a single day. Director Paul Diffley captures MacLeod’s historic climb in great style, contrasting it with the challenges of Drummond’s first ascent – then achingly returns to the route with Drummond.
