The climb

We left the refuge at 1:30 in the morning. The route includes a 300-foot vertical ice wall, and I climbed it with only one axe while chunks of ice came down from above.

The flight

From the summit of Europe's tallest mountain, a speedwing back down. You climb to earn the flight. Climb and fly.

Why we make these films

Battling Monsters is the mental health movement Jamie Leibert founded. PTSD is the monster. A wingsuit is how he manages it. Not a recovery story. A daily fight, filmed. Every film on this site is free because the people who need it most are the ones who cannot pay for it.
