Taking on the most Dangerous Section of the Iditarod...at Night | Sport & Survival, Ep. 4 : Vidéo d'EPICTV Adventure

Extreme athlete and adventure-seeker Patrick Sweeney lives by a philosophy that if you're not scaring yourself at least once a month, you're not living. In this 5-episode series, Patrick competes in the longest, coldest ultra endurance event in the world, the Iditarod Trail Invitational. Retracing the famous dog sled route, Patrick races his fat bike 350-miles across sub-zero Alaska, unsupported in the dead of winter.

In this episode he enters the most dangerous and difficult stage of the race. First he has to conquer Rainy Pass, the highest climb on the course and also one of the most dangerous descents. And he has to do it at night. After that it should be be easy going but climate change has caused unprecedented warm temperatures in Alaska this year and Patrick finds himself crossing barely-frozen lakes that threaten to give way under his tires at any moment.
