    As the glide ratios go up the glacier is retreating fast. I was there 10 years ago. Love the way you flew the notch at the ridge bottom. Scary scary! Great video.

    • @TobyRedmile
      @TobyRedmile  2 роки тому +6

      It will take learning to fly your body in the sky, then flying a small wingsuit and progressing into a big wingsuit. Start by contacting your local Skydiving centre and complete the AFF training. Good luck :)

      It is different for everyone but it took me just under 3 years and approximately $30,000 in skydive training, base jump training, traveling and equipment before I was flying big suits in the mountains. I started the process 14 years ago. It's worth every penny if you can stay smart/lucky and survive it.
