French Provence is home to one of the most spectacular and exceptional places in Europe: the Verdon Gorge. For decades, it has been an Eldorado for extreme sports enthusiasts who pursue their passion on the steep walls, the wild river and the airy heights. Stefan Glowacz and Christian Schlesener, two professional alpinists from Bavaria, have been trying their luck on one of the most difficult multi-rope routes in the gorge for over ten years and have failed countless times, yet they keep coming back. Like the kayakers, slackliners and paragliders. All athletes are united by a passion for adventure. But the shared moments and the experience of nature will also shape their memories of the gorge.

Stefan Glowacz takes climbing legend Bernd Arnold to these very special rocks in Saxon Switzerland. But Stefan also meets other people from this region who use the unique landscape for their passions - such as slacklining or exploring caves. The documentary shows the Elbe Sandstone Mountains from a completely new perspective.

Majlis al Jinn, a huge subterranean chamber in Oman, is big enough to house the Great Pyramid of Giza. Climbers Chris Sharma and Stefan Glowacz attempt an ascent up the massive arch and back to the light of the surface. After rappelling down a 170-metre drop, Chris Sharma and his partner set out for their record-breaking ascent from the deepest point of the cave. Fighting gravity they follow the enormous arch suspended upside down much of the time. It is a ground-breaking climb back into the light. The route has never been attempted before and counts as the world’s longest roof climb with 13 pitches.
