Professional Kid follows Mark Sky, on his audacious dream to pedal, paddle and hike his way from his home in Canada, to climb South America's highest mountain. Mount Aconcagua in Argentina is nearly 7,000 meters of ice, rock, and raw human challenge. If that’s not challenging enough, he’ll bypass the usual route and attempt an even more difficult one — and climb it solo.
Mark will also attempt to climb the highest peak in every country he crosses.
Along the way, he takes on some of the toughest terrains in the world, from the hottest deserts to the frozen heights of the Andes. He faces life-threatening dangers when climbing solo in the mountains, biking through cartel territories and kayaking over 500km from Panama to Colombia through the remote wilds of the lawless Darien Jungle – one of the most dangerous regions on earth - where he is taken captive.
But it’s not just the physical challenges that shape his story. His physical endurance is tested in ways few could imagine—but it’s the emotional and mental battles that prove to be the ultimate test.
Professional Kid is an odyssey of pushing limits, discovering strength in vulnerability, and confronting the raw truths of a life lived on the edge. From moments of triumph to gut-wrenching despair, corruption and betrayal, Mark’s adventure will make you question what it truly means to risk everything in pursuit of your wildest dreams.
Get ready to experience the world through Mark’s eyes—where the toughest climbs are often the ones within.
This is the story of one man’s search for his ultimate summit—an adventure that strips life down to its essence, revealing the profound lessons learned from nearly two years on the road.
