Flying High - Härtetest am Everest
Christian Schmidt (2013)
Valery Rozov, extreme BASE jumper and Russian wingsuit pilot, is determined to set the record for the highest BASE jump and relative wingsuit flight ever made. Rozov is taking part in a 40-day expedition from Kathmandu to Tibet, together with his team of climbers, guides and porters, to the Mount Everest massif. Although the summit of Everest is not steep enough to launch in a wingsuit, a cornice on the northern side of the mountain offers the opportunity to take flight at 7220 meters above sea level. Rozov spent two years planning and testing this flight, taking measurements and meticulously searching for the perfect suit that would allow him to jump into the void.Flying High - Härtetest am Everest

Über dem Wolf's Tooth
Cengiz Tanc (2011)
Russian Base jumper Valery Rozov’s jumping adventure from Mount Ulvetanna, one of the highest peaks of Antarctica. Valery Rozov and his team go to the the Drygalski Mountains in Queen Maud Land, a place of extreme conditions where humans can fly. Here after weeks of preparation, Rozov conquers the almost vertical wall soaring 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) into the sky. What follows is pure adrenaline: for nearly one minute Rozov hurtles down the sheer rock-face before he pulls his chute open to make a safe landing. This is the first jump from one of the most difficult peaks in this icy desert. This is a 25 minutes version of the original 'Over the Wolf's Tooth', shortened for the Highlights series of the austrian ServusTV.- 2011
