Synopsis
Series in which six athletic adventurers from the west compete for glory against tribal champions in remote corners of the globe, with the ultimate aim of being crowned the last man standing.
In the Himalayas, the lads are living with Nepalese Sherpas and learning to train at extreme altitude in freezing conditions. Their goal is a punishing race up a mountain in the shadow of Everest, carrying a slab of sacred rock on their backs for the construction of a Buddhist prayer wall.
Clip: Ed Interview
Watch our exclusive interview with British athlete Ed as he describes what it was like to stay with the Sherpas and take part in the mountain race.
