TODAY IN ADVENTURE | | The Jumping Russian | | On February 24th (that’s today!), 2007, Russian BASE-jumping legend Valery Rozov became the first person to BASE-jump from the summit of Patagonia’s iconic Central Tower in Torres del Paine. Rozov climbed the Bonington-Whilans route with four other climbers working on the Russian Big Walls Project. The Grade V 5.11 route took them two days, and as they neared the summit the other climbers began to relax having reached their goal, but Rozov steeled his nerves to focus on his main objective. He jumped from the summit and dropped 4,500 vertical feet in 47 seconds, making it one of the longest human flights on record. | | |
