Training
Before Mont Blanc, Jamie #2 and I took a glacier rescue class in a living room, then used crampons and ice axes for the first time.
The climb and the flight
A night in a mountain refuge, our first summit in full ice gear, then a ten-minute speedwing line back down past the crevasses. Climb and fly, done properly, starts with learning the climb.
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.
