The Origins

Episode 1

The origins of the Alpine Club of Canada, which begin in Winnipeg; climbers have developed the crags nearby and built the gyms that are popular today.

The Ice

Episode 2

Next to a frozen river and within sight of downtown Winnipeg is the Alpine Club's ice tower, a 60-foot pyramid of sheer vertical ice that takes countless hours of volunteer effort to build each winter.

The Gym

Episode 3

Winnipeg's climbing gyms are filling quickly with climbers looking to train, find community, and compete against each other; the climbers can climb long routes, boulder on short difficult problems, or learn the skills to get outside.

The Obsession

Episode 4

When climbers have an obsession and they live in a flat province, they must get creative to feed it; as a result, they build structures, explore new areas, and ascend the buildings and bridges near their homes.
