An Extraordinary Adventure Partnership
BASEClimb began in 1992, when Glenn Singleman and Nic Feteris climbed Pakistan’s Great Trango Tower and made a world-record BASE jump from more than 6,000 metres. Their groundbreaking expedition helped pioneer the sport now known as BASE climbing or para-alpinism.
The award-winning documentary BASEClimb inspired people around the world—including Heather Swan, then a corporate executive with no background in adventure.
Glenn and Heather went on to build an extraordinary partnership in life and exploration. Together, they have climbed and BASE jumped from Himalayan summits, flown wingsuits across the Grand Canyon and over some of Australia’s most iconic landscapes, and undertaken pioneering expeditions from Antarctica to the Australian outback.

What Might Be Possible?
Adventure has taught us that courage is not the absence of fear. It is the ability to understand fear, prepare intelligently and act in service of something that matters.
We continue to explore, create and share what we learn—inviting others to imagine what might be possible in their own lives.
