The Icing on the Cake - Jumping into history from a sacred peak

In the rugged peaks of the Sierra de Gredos, where Spanish mountaineering legends first defied gravity in 1933, a new story takes flight. This documentary follows paralpinists Eric de Cima and Marta Jiménez as they revive a nearly century-old climbing route—Teógenes—and turn it into a base jumping launch site.

In an era of adrenaline-charged sports and homage to tradition, their feat becomes a symbol of how heritage and innovation can leap together from stone into sky.
