Comments Off
Skydivers plunged through the shadow of Mount Everest today in preparation for a planned free fall over the world’s highest peak.
Launching themselves from 22,000 feet this morning, the skydivers had around one minute in free fall before a parachute descent that offered a stunning Himalayan panorama.
“It was like floating on a cloud while looking at the highest mountains in the world. The views of Everest were amazing, you could even see base camp,” said Steve Hennessy, an Australian skydive instructor, who made one of the first descents yesterday .
The unprecedented jumps are being offered as a commercial enterprise by High and Wild, a British adventure travel company .
The first 32 clients each paid $24,000 to be part of an exercise that the company it self classified as “touching madness.”
