High Stakes

Season 9

The work of rope-access crews who take on the jobs no one else can across Northern Ireland, including stabilising a crumbling cliff face above one of the country's busiest roads and scaling Ireland's tallest structure to fix a vital aircraft warning light. Veteran climber Andrew Marshall, father-and-son duo John and Christopher Kelly, newcomer Jack McCullough and Claire Lundy are just some of those facing high-stakes jobs in extreme conditions, whether clinging to cliffs, installing a replica RMS Titanic chandelier high above the Titanic Museum floor or braving a three-hour ascent of a 1,000-foot mast in Strabane with a storm closing in

True North: High Stakes airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland at 6:30 PM, Sunday 13 July. (Subtitles, repeat.)
