For the Love of Mary

Try telling 97-year-old George Etzweiler you're too old for running! He started competing in the annual 7.6 mile race up Mount Washington aged 69... and still takes part nearly 30 years later. And more important than his lucky green running shorts, George carries something special in every step: the memory of his late wife of 68 years, Mary.

Filmmakers: Simon Perkins & Kirk Horton. Duration: 6 minutes. 

Reel Rock - Break on Through 

The grade 5.15 in climbing is described as a number representing the unattainable, a 'magical barrier' similar to breaking the four-minute mile. At the start of 2017, only a few male climbers had achieved the grade and no women. Enter an exceptionally driven 19-year-old, Margo Hayes. ''When I sense others doubting what I can do, my determination triples,''says Margo on her quest to smash through the barrier. 

Filmmakers: Peter Mortimer, Matty Hong, Nick Rosen , Zachary Barr. Duration: 26 minutes. 

Surviving the Outback

Could you survive alone across hundreds of kilometres of remote Australian outback, with nothing but a time capsule of antique stuff from 1932, for a whole month? Trekking and sailing on a makeshift raft, adventurer 'Outback Mike' retraces the incredible journey of two German aviators stranded in the wilderness 80 years ago. 

Filmmaker: Michael Atkinson. Duration: 43 minutes.

Rogue Elements: Corbet's Couloir

Likened to plunging into an abyss, Corbet's Couloir is America's most feared ski run, terrifying to ski and snowboard even in the best conditions. Attempting it in the icy conditions on mountain bikes is nothing short of insane, as Casey Brown and Cam Mccaul find out in the first ever two-wheeled descent of the route...

Filmmaker: Teton Gravity Research. Duration: 4 minutes. 

Liv Along the Way

Ever since she summitted Mont Blanc as a teen, Liv Sansoz knew she would spend her life in the mountains. A former world champion sport climber who's also into base jumping, at 40 Liv set out to climb all 82 of the 4,000m peaks in the European Alps in a single year, skiing and paragliding down where possible. As she's learned several times in her life, things don't always go as planned...

Filmmaker:Mike Douglas and Anthony Bonello. Duration: 22 minutes.
