Cliff Camping in the Rocky Mountains with Aaron Millar

Cliff camping is extreme sleeping for insane people. Follow award-winning travel writer Aaron Millar up to the top of the Rocky Mountains for a terrifying night sleeping on a portaledge, suspended 500-feet above the ground on a sheer cliff face. Lighting strikes, emergency rappelling in the pitch dark, vertigo and the scariest pee in the world. But when the dawn breaks, and the mountains flood with color, we discover the true meaning and purpose of adventure. Dare to be truly alive.
