The Story of Kentucky Ice Climbing

Ice climbing in Kentucky?! This adventure documentary takes the audience for a bourbon-fueled ride deep into the bushy hollers of Appalachia with a crew of harmless misfits as they race to search out and climb new ice routes before they're gone, with a few surprises along the way.

When most folks think of Kentucky, horses and bourbon are probably the first two things that come to mind.

What most people don’t know, is that nearly every winter for just a brief moment, there exists more frozen waterfalls than anywhere else in the lower 48, maybe even the whole world.

For the last 40 years, small groups of dedicated adventurers have been searching out and climbing this ice with a determined passion, because they know if it’s climbable today, it’ll probably be gone tomorrow.
