About Jason Momoa's upcoming HBO Max Venture 

According to THR, the concept for Momoa's upcoming show has been described as: 

a visually arresting and life-changing adventure that represents the foundations of rock climbing and the exploration of the human spirit. In this all-encompassing competition, amateur climbers are put through a rigorous series of mental and physical challenges, utilizing the most intimidating ascents in the world to crown the world’s best amateur climber.

In a statement about his upcoming reality tv show, Momoa said: 

It’s a dream come true to create a show with one of my idols, my good friend, and legendary climber Chris Sharma. I’m thrilled to be partnering with HBO Max and to produce alongside IPC to bring you this incredible show about my favorite sport, rock climbing.

The reason why Jason Momoa decided to develop a reality show about Rock Climbing

Jason Momoa has been a rock climbing enthusiast for a long time. In 2019, while speaking to Men's Health Magazine, Momoa mentioned how things that he loved had been incorporated on sets of Aquaman. He mentioned how they had built a 'rock climbing gym' on the sets of Aquaman, in Australia. 

Momoa also mentioned how he was training specifically for rock climbing and it wasn't just about "Oh, let’s get a six-pack". The actor also mentioned how he wanted to keep his diet on track and get in the best shape because of his passion for the sport. Momoa also talked about how it kept his "mind in a beautiful place".

The Climb, which is the title of the aforementioned show, will be executively produced by Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, Matt Shanfield, Momoa, Brian Mendoza, James Mendoza, Sharma, and Jonathan Retseck.
