The documentary traces the life of Dean Potter, who was well known in the world of climbing for his bold free soloing, BASE jumping, and highlining. But the human behind those efforts was quite complicated, something that is illustrated through interviews with friends, family, and climbing partners\u2014and archival interviews with Potter himself. Mortimer and Rosen reflect on their own relationships with Potter, whom they filmed with often before he died in a BASE jumping accident in Yosemite in 2015. The pair share why they felt this film needed to be made in an honest way and how Potter\u2019s journals, provided by his sister, presented a lesser-known side of him, one that was quite vulnerable. &amp;nbsp; This episode brought to you by Patagonia.
