On Thin Ice welcomes you to the wild world of competitive ice climbing. Going behind the scenes of the 2024 UIAA World Cup, it offers an intimate look into the lives of elite athletes as they navigate the challenges of the comp climbing world’s most overlooked discipline.

Described by many as sport climbing with deadly weapons, it’s a world where huge routes, changeable conditions, equipment malfunctions and a gruelling travel schedule all combine to push climbers to their limits, on walls form Korea to Canada. On Thin Ice follows Rab athletes and top climbers Marianne Van Der Steen of the Netherlands and Catalina Shirley of the USA on their journey from rigorous training regimes to the podium, via lost kit, heartbreak and the unwavering comradery that defines the ice climbing family.
