The Story

Jamie and Sandra try ice climbing for the first time, learning crampons and ice axes as the first step in bringing alpinism into their lives before heading east toward Pakistan. Sandra tops out her climb and Jamie leads his first ice pitch, placing gear as he goes.

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.
