About this episode
This episode covers the career transition of wingsuit BASE jumper Katelyn Escott and serves as a memorial following her tragic passing.
This was supposed to be the second installment of a series following the career of Wingsuit BASE jumper Kate "Compton" Escott, but instead it has become the last in this series. This episode was recorded a month before she lost her life while wingsuit BASE jumping and aimed to cover her transition from up-and-coming amateur to true professional. You can listen to her first interview with us by scrolling back to episode 33. This episode was released with the love and support of her family and friends and features her mentor Jeff Weatherall at the close of the episode.
