If you've watched Free Solo or Arctic Ascent you'll know that Alex Honnold is no-ordinary climber, but he and The Dawn Wall star Tommy Caldwell might be facing their toughest task yet in The Devil's Climb.

Taking on Alaska's Devil's Thumb, a 9000 ft mountain that some have never returned from attempting, is enough to scare the bravest climbers, but our duo are making it even harder for themselves. They're after the crown of becoming the first to climb all five peaks of the mountain in one day.

The doc follows Alex and Tommy as they travel some 2600 miles through the West of the American continent keeping their environmental impact as low as possible. The pair use bikes, boats and their feet to trek the route.

It's thrilling stuff, but also a vital watch in the face of continuing damage to our natural world, with Forbes praising that "the film serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between humanity and nature."

So grab a warm cup of cocoa and we'll explain how to watch The Devil's Climb wherever you are.
