The ascent began on the Chinese side on the famous north route. It took him four days to climb from the base camp to the jumping location. At precisely 2:30 p.m. local time he leaped despite adverse weather conditions with temperatures -18 Celsius. Because the cliff at the top was not very high, the initial moments of the leap in the rarified high altitude air were the most critical phase. Rozov needed more time than usual in the thin air to transition from freefall to flying. After that he flew for nearly a full minute at speeds of about 200 km/h (125 mph) along the north face before he landed safely on the Rongbuk glacier - at an altitude of 5,950 meters.
"Only when I got back home did I see how hard it was for me both physically and psychologically,"" said Rozov after getting home to Moscow. ""When you look at the videos you realize that it took a lot longer than usual to get from falling to flying."

when i was 5, i jumped off my garage with an umbrella
-
if you had jumped from the summit i would have really been impressed...
-
That whole video and we get 7 seconds of flight footage? I want my 4 minutes back
-
"How much for a return to the top of Everest?" "About £45,000 sir" "How much for a single?"
-
The real challenge would be fly to the summit by drinking red bull.

We'll always remember you Valery. Russian Superman flying off of Everest. Too many great people have died in this sport, but you should never stop chasing your dreams. Rozov will continue to inspire me from beyond the grave.

This video must be titled "How I got Red Bull to pay for the climb to Everest"
-
RIP Valery... the side of RedBull's athlete program noone talks about...
-
skip to 2:40 ,actually just skip the entire video, this sucked.
-
To save time, you wing suit all the way to Lukla airport from Everest and catch the plane with minutes to spare ... I cant imagine the efforts put in to reach the launch point. Thumbs up all the way
-
Thank you. This is super inspiring. Showing anything is possible!!! Congrats to the team!!!
-
Rest in peace, Valery!
-
ANother beautiful soul claimed by this incredibly dangerous, yet awe inspiring and breath taking sport. RIP!
-
When I was an umbrella, I jumped off my 29 with a garage.
-
He's back in base camp eating a hot meal and sleeping in a comfy warm tent. The rest of the team is spending several nights strapping in to a cold rock in bivvy sacks eating ramen wishing they took the short cut back.
-
Sad to tell But this man died yesterday due to a wingsuit accident RIP
-
They only showed 20 seconds, if that, of his flight... from the highest place on Earth? That is completely weak dude...
-
Why are so many of you negative? The target was to set a world record, and not to ascent the peak. At 7500 meters is the atmospheric pressure only one third of the pressure at sea level. That required a long vertical drop before the speed was high enough for the suit to produce lift and forward speed.
-
WOW this is by far the single most RADDEST thing i have ever seen. FREAKIN AWESOME. way to go!
-
I defiantly would be jumping instead of climbing back down, even if it were my first time. Thank you for teaching the rest of us how to really live life to the fullest, you will be sadly missed. R.I.P. dear man. You set the bar really high for the rest of us Sir. And we love you for this.
