It gives a new view on how athletes think and act doing what they love. What state of mind do they have to achieve their goals? What are they feeling? And ultimately what are those sportsmen’s views on life, differentiating them from the rest?
Christopher Baud: Crystal Hunting
Christopher is an elite mountain guide, skier and instructor from Chamonix, and a father of two.

The whole world is jumpable, almost. Once you have been infected with the BASE mindset, you will never look at high objects the same. Everywhere you look, possibilities exist.
