Visit the remote and impenetrable Dhofar Mountains in Oman, where Steve Backshall hopes to become the first to climb unexplored cliffs. Along the way, he encounters one of the rarest animals on Earth.
Steve’s journey in Oman begins with British climbers Hazel Findlay and John Arran. They abseil into a sinkhole where they’ll find their only source of water for the next several miles of their expedition.
