Chris Benchetler is easily one of the most creative minds in outdoor sports, and that’s shining through in his newest project “Mountains of the Moon”. The movie, set to release in fall of 2025, takes advantage of eye catching light suits created in collaboration with Arc’teryx to light up the night through a variety of outdoor sports.
The YouTube series Ship of Fools is sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the project, highlighting the gear, work, and people required to put together such an incredible film. The newest episode is focused on climbing, providing a view into the work of Olympic climber Hamish McArthur and cinematographer Rachel Ross.
