Overview

Mike Libecki is the consummate adventurer — a lone wolf who has traveled from Borneo to Venezuela, Afghanistan and Antarctica in search of unclimbed routes, unskied lines, unbagged peaks and untouched pockets of the world. He's also a colorful character who dons Chinese masks while climbing, films himself incessantly and has a healthy fascination of modern-day mysteries.

Ticking off expeditions at an astonishing rate and with an ambition that doesn’t ebb, he shows no sign of slowing. But he does have a new travel companion: his young daughter. This new work in progress by Sender Films shines a light on a quirky climber who has somehow remained on the fringe of the adventure world’s conscience.
