Everest Demo Jump

A couple of the guys from High & Wild went to the Syangboche Drop Zone late May to do a practice jump and check out the gear.  I've been told the "wind" sound has been added for affect.  You can get a good picture of the landing area and how it actually is pretty "easy" (all relative) to pick out when you're in the air.

This jump is equivalent to the initial "hop n' pop" we'll do before the big 30,000 ft jump.

We don't have the helicopter anymore because it's been re-tasked in Afghanistan so we'll be going up in the Pilatus Porter P6 for all jumps.
