Base jumper leaps from the top of the peak of mountain
This heart stopping footage shows a high-altitude wing suit flight from the peak of a mountain.Ex Royal Marine Tim Howell climbed for six-and-a-half hours to reach the perfect spot to launch himself off the intimidating 13,806ft drop.It is the highest wing suit BASE jump ever performed by Tim, but it is just another day at the office for him as he fearlessly takes his leap and soars above the picturesque peaks.He made the jump off the south side of The Grandes Jorrasses range, which stands in The Mount Blanc massif, between France and Italy.Tim, 28, from London, said: "My friend Marco and I climbed the south side of the Grandes Jorrasses, which is a range in the mont blanc massif.
The idea was to fly from the north side over to back to where we started."It took two hours to get to the hut followed by six-and-a-half hours of climbing the next day.
We started at 2am."It's the highest altitude wing suit base jump I've done yet and has taken me years to get the experience to comfortably organise and execute this jump."
