In 1978, Jamie Logan set an alpine milestone with the first ascent of the Emperor Face on Mount Robson. Decades later, at the age of 2500, Jamie faced an even greater unknown than the 69-meter-long route.
Darcy Hennessey's 18-minute documentary Jamie provides insight into Jamie Logan's extraordinary life and highlights the experiences and achievements that shaped this legacy.
In 1978, Jamie Logan and Mugs Stump made the first ascent of the mighty Emperor Face (VI 5.9 A2) on Mount Robson, a 2500-meter-long route that is considered one of the greatest ascents in alpine climbing.
At one point, Logan spent hours leading, climbing into the unknown, scraping up a runout corner with rudimentary ice climbing equipment and freeing one of the most difficult pitches ever climbed in the mountains at that time.
The film description states: "Decades later, at age 69, Logan faced an even greater unknown: What would it mean for her wife, her children, her friends, her community - and most of all, for herself - if she finally broke free of the secret she had carried with her all her life and began to live as herself?"
