The last push to the top of the ridge. A quick look over the edge. Then dropping down the sheer snow-covered face. Along with these high-octane, high-altitude moments, (in)complete gives unique insight into Jérémie's understanding of freeriding and his development towards true alpinism.
For Jérémie Heitz, a freeride project is a mission. He starts with a vision, climbs a ridge or peak under his own steam, then finishes with the perfect line down a steep, snow-covered face. Inspired by the original legends of freeriding, the path he has taken through ski racing and the Freeride World Tour has led him to a point where he knows how to put the "free" in freeride: the freedom to evolve and learn in order to be as versatile in the mountains as possible.
His freeride mission through the Bernese Oberland with Sam Anthamatten is about fear and danger, putting trust in your partner, and the skills that it takes for a freerider to become a complete alpinist.
"For me, freeriding is free to go wherever you want, having a mission, climbing the mountains I’m going to ride."
"There aren't many such complete alpinists like Jérémie."
