To start the Higher mission, big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones heads to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to attempt to ride the Otterbody in Grand Teton Park. Jeremy and the TGR team will face the harrowing climb to the summit of the Grand Teton.

Jeremy Jones and the Teton Gravity Research team ride the Otterbody, the premiere snowboard mountaineering run in Grand Teton National Park. A 55-degree patch of snow that sits exposed over a thousand feet of cliffs.

Jeremy Jones and the Teton Gravity Research team head to Alaska where they struggle to find a mission. When their main objective turns out to be too icy to ride they have no choice but to wait for a storm and hope things change.

When the storm they were hoping for hits harder than expected, Jeremy Jones and the Teton Gravity Research team faces their worst storm yet stuck on the glacier. When the weather clears their main objective is transformed along with the team's spirits.

With good weather and stable conditions, Jeremy and the team attempt to climb the 4000-foot Alaskan face but the ice layer under the fresh snow continues to cause them problems calling into question their chances of summiting this massive peak.

After being stopped on his ascent twice because of the ice, Jeremy attempts to traverse the face to a new route up. When the ice shows itself on the face Jeremy losses his edge and goes sliding down the face towards exposed cliffs and crevasses.
