Nigel Gifford Skydive Everest Scam

In September 2008, self styled adventurer Nigel Gifford and his company High & Wild sold a dream to the world. He would lead an expedition to Everest where a group of privileged clients would have their names forever mentioned in the record books as they became the first people to make a skydive over the famous mountain.

What followed was three unforgettable weeks of lies, deceit, danger and despair. Skydive Everest was certainly an adventure, just not the one most people had signed up for!!

To celebrate the expedition's second anniversary, and the recent arrest warrant issued for Nigel Gifford in Nepal, here is a sneak preview of the true story of the first ever 'Everest Skydive', certainly an unforgettable experience for all who were there.

Neither Nigel nor High And Wild has had anything to do with Everest Skydive after his disastrous 2008 trip! He is still not welcome in Nepal...

My buddies and I were already put off by sooo many days of hiking for a just few skydives, but now that we've seen your video we're definitely not going. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and saving us from the same raw deal you got. Gotta love how connected we all are these days... unless you're a scamster....
