Its love story with the tallest mountain of the world begins in 1975, when a young physician named Mike Jones asks him if he would like to come down in canoe from the river Dudh Kosi, that is born from the glacier Khumbu, on the Everest. "Dudh Kosi-The unstoppable river of the Everest" you/he/she has won dozens of international prizes-any other films of adventure in absolute-and you/he/she is still seen in the world of the canoe as the film more inspired that has ever been turned on that sport. The following film concerned the winter scaling of the "Wall North of the Cervino", and Leo enrolled him/it in the Filmfestival of Trento. His/her translator was Uschi Messner, wife of Reinhold Messner that you/he/she was becoming the most famous mountain climber to the world. Uschi told Leo: "You have to make a film on my Reinhold: it will climb the Everest without oxygen." "Everest without mask" it became the most meaningful film ever realized speaking of the Everest.

Their precipice landing in the tall desert of Tibet is one of the most memorable pieces of usual television. The film of Leo "Á. feet on the street of the Everest" it showed as it was possible to a disabled mountain climber to reach the top, even if Tom Whittaker stopped him 700 more meters in low.

The meeting of the Brento, has coincided always with the "Film Festival of Trento" cinema event devoted to the mountain and the exploration. This year facente departs some jury there was the "our" Base Jumper Leo Dickinson, which taking advantage of some free moment, it completed the resumptions on the Brento riguardanti the flight of the Hawk.

As we know, some resumptions have been effected, of a jumper that jumps from the wall of the Brento, in the same moment the hawk is launched also. In little seconds, the hawk reaches the jumper that is falling in free fall, holding in hand a colored bit of yellow, you/he/she grabs him/it, while the camcorder installed on the helmet of the parachutist films the scene.
