Guinness World Record Highest Altitude Ski BASE Jump

Charity Jump - It would be cool if the exposure from this jump could raise awareness for the human trafficking problem in Nepal, with 5000 girls being trafficked into other countries every year.

About The Jump - It took a total of 2.5 weeks, flying, driving, hiking & ski touring just to get to this exit point with many obstacles to overcome along the way. Admittedly for maybe just a second it was a little devastating when we first arrived to the possible jump spot, and seeing that the edge of cliff was just a big rocky slope. Sitting down on one of the big rocks with the realisation that we had actually come about 4 weeks too late. Do we come back next season? But this doubt was short lived, the improvising mindset soon kicked in, adapting to find a solution. Shortly after we found the perfect slope but we knew we had a big next day ahead of us, having to clear a runway, by moving boulders/rocks & adding snow. It took most of the next day until we had nothing left in the tank. We all worked so hard & the lack of oxygen, constant headaches & sleeping at around 6000m added to the body degrading. One of the guys even said “this is harder than when I climbed Everest”. Exhausted, We slept another night at altitude. The dream was to do several nice S turns and ski eloquently off the cliff but in reality all we had was just a humble rocky filled runway at an exit height of nearly 6000m. That night we were blessed with a 2cm dusting of snow, not much but it helped. Some nice heavy breathing before the jump through exhaustion & lack of oxygen but this just added to the exhilaration especially with Everest in the backdrop.

This was a fully self funded project, no big sponsors, tech gear was borrowed from friends (you know who you are, legends) skis were second hand & the clothing worn was cheap fake stuff from Kathmandu You don’t need all the fancy glitz, you just need a ‘Can Do Atitude’ with a sense of adventure, some dogged persistence & a good team #guinnesworldrecord #worldrecord #skiing #basejump #charity by @mountainmanbase

It started as an attempt to find an exit point for the highest BASE jump ever. The expedition was filled with setbacks, difficult decisions, oxygen problems, and, eventually, after reaching the summit and then finding an exit point with good weather conditions , there was then a logistical issue with some of the equipment. Meaning the jump couldn’t happen within the weather window.

But whatever the outcome of the jump, standing on the summit of Everest is something very few people will ever achieve.

For now, this shows josh reflecting at the memorial site below Mount Everest, supported by the one and only @buffalosystems.

The expedition didn’t go exactly to plan, but still achieved something extraordinary. taken in Everest Base Camp - Nepal by @mountainmanbase
