In this five-part series from Patagonia, climbers Nico Favresse, Olivier Favresse, Seán Villanueva and Ben Ditto ship out for the summer with Captain Bob Shepton on his 33-foot sailboat in search of unclimbed big walls rising out of Greenland's fjords. The nine first ascents made by the team, and the style in which they were made, garnered them a Piolet d'Or.

(Don't miss episode 3 - it's a classic!)

Inspirational ! seeing the guys at the Piolets d'or last week, they really give off an air of psyche and just being in the same room makes you want to get out and climb ! Pete.

Best thing on UKC so far this year - love the "bring your own music" approach - perhaps this should be another ethical wrinkle to climbing? What a great group of people

looks like they had an amazing adventure, and your right watching that makes you just want to get out there and do it. Best vid on ukc for a long time.
