Ahead of the release of The Climb, Jason Mamoa opened up about what inspired him to embark on this journey. In an exclusive trailer released by People, Jason revealed:
"Climbing, it's so rooted in my soul. It just opens your mind. We've decided to start a competition to inspire the next generation of climbers. And we've enlisted champion climber Meagan Martin."
The trailer showcased the 10 contestants arriving on the island of Mallorca, the largest island located in the Balearic Islands.
Chris Sharma tells the contestants:
"We're gonna keep you guys on your toes. No pun intended. When you're pushing your limits most of the time you do fail. But once in a while, it happens. That's where the magic happens."
The series also teased a few challenges that competitors must face. One of them was a 70-ft. climb up the Patiasso al Pallaso, which is located in Spain. The teaser witnessed many contestants falling off while attempting the climb.
