The crew faces their biggest challenge yet when they have to blow up an entire section of a mountain along the highway.
Janod's Niagara project nears an end. One of the last challenges these rock men face is installing and grouting six instrumentation bolts at the Maid of the Mist.
It's day four of the Niagara Falls project and the Janod crew and its foreman Dennis Harriman continue to battle freezing temperatures, new dangerous discoveries, and the biggest rocks yet in their quest to make Niagara Falls State Park safe for the public.
Three sites, hundreds of tons of dangerous rock, fifteen days. The crew reports to Niagara Falls State Park and is given a mammoth task: make the park safe for the public. They must address several areas in which dangerously loose rock threatens to topple down the slope and injure and destroy anyone or anything in its way.
Returning from a job in Hawaii, Dennis jumps into action and joins the crew on the ropes as the conflict between John and Greg comes to a head, resulting in John wanting to fire Greg.
Way behind schedule, the team brings on a hotheaded scaler from Niagara to help save the project. After a few narrow escapes from injury and loads of brute strength later, the team ends up setting a company record of dropping 813,000 pounds of rock in two days.
Rock Stars is a documentary/reality television series that follows a team of rock scalers from a slope stabilization/rock remediation company. The series is produced by Echo Entertainment for the National Geographic Channel. Ten episodes have been created so far, the first airing on November 22, 2011.
