The Cirque of the Unclimbables is a region of impressive rock towers located in Canada’s Northwest Territories, where climbers and BASE Jumpers Tim Emmett and Sean Leary went to try their luck on a peak known as the Lotus Flower Tower.
Their aim was to both climb and fly from the top of that mountain. The video below chronicles that expedition and gives us a glimpse of this spectacular, but seldom mentioned, climbing area.
