Everest Skydiving Test

The first ever skydiving program in the Everest Himalaya took place on the 14th & 15th of May, 2008.

Four skydivers Ben Ian Wood, Andy Montriou, Nigel Gifford and David Ian Wood successfully skydived from a height of 16,000ft at Shyanboche. All four divers belong to the management team of High and Wild, which is a UK based adventure company. This was the test jump for the first ever program of skydiving in the Everest Himalaya to take place this Autumn.

Explore Himalaya, the local partner of High & Wild has received the permit to hold the first ever Skydiving program in front of Mt Everest (29,035ft.) this Autumn (Oct- Nov).

Funny old world isn't it? We sit and watch bemused as we see a skydiver who can't differentiate left from right. Not only putting his life at risk. Skygod?? I don't think so. Another greyman looking for his place in the spotlight.
