Ever wanted to go deeper with your favorite climbers? Find out their background, what makes them tick, what drives them on and even how they see themselves?

In Beyond Limits we delve into the life and mind of self-deprecating British climbing legend Steve McClure to get his very personal take on his climbing career. We track his life from his first steps in the mountains, to the accident that derailed him, and his subsequent journey to become Britain’s best-ever sport climber claiming the prize of the UK’s first 9b.

And, in parallel to this process of unravelling the psyche of a superstar, we get to see Steve doing what he does best; pulling hard on very small holds. So, in between being grilled about his life, we let Steve loose on Clandestino, 9a, to see if he can tick something off his ‘bucket list’ by grabbing his first route of this grade abroad. And in true Epic TV style there’s one small catch: Steve's got just a week to do it!
