The Max Original rock climbing competition series The Climb debuts Thursday, January 12 with three episodes, followed by three new episodes the following week, concluding with the final two episodes on January 26. The series is created by Aquaman star, Jason Momoa, through his production company On the Roam, legendary rock climber Chris Sharma, and The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), a part of Sony Pictures Television.
The competition series is a visually-arresting and life-changing adventure that represents the foundations of rock climbing and exploration of the human spirit. In this all-encompassing competition, amateur climbers are put through a rigorous series of mental and physical challenges, utilizing some of the most intimidating ascents in the world to crown the world’s best amateur climber with a prAna sponsored climbing ambassadorship and a $100,000 cash prize.
In the trailer, shared ahead of it’s premiere, Momoa talks about his passion for the outdoor sport, expressing: “climbing, it’s so rooted in my soul. It just opens your mind.” The pair are then seen hanging off sky-heigh granite walls and jumping into the water as Sharna explains that they first met when he began his career as a professional climber. This is definitely going to lead to some serious competition, dangerous stunts, and a ton of fun that will leave us all addicted.
