An enthralling race to the top of an Italian mountain between a rock climber, Stefan Glowacz, and a paraglider pilot played by our very own Rob Whittall. The film was directed and filmed by the long time master of paragliding movies Uli Wiesmeier. Uli uses every technique in his video toolkit to put you right in the heart of the action, including his own development of Jimmy Hall`s spinning camera mount. The end result is a polished cinematic experience which we know you`ll love and no we won`t give away who won…
