    That was so immersive. I could feel my heart rate elevating as you nerved yourself up for the initial jump. That was followed by the exhilaration of flying and the tranquillity of the cow bells as things calm back down after a perfect performance in beautiful surroundings.
    So little editing or annoying sound effects, yet the result was a perfect little video essay. Thank you for posting.

    I didn't really pay attention to the title, when you turned around after the landing i realized it was the Eiger ! The first to take the jump went straight ahead (and down ofc), you went to the left... so you didn't tell him you parked the car in the valley on the left ? Mean !! Up there, the grinding sound of the carabiner on the cable was... something.

      He stole my breakfast from the fridge. He deserved the long hike back 😂

    I love a good game of dice with my old friend T.G.R. Funny how lately I've found better things to do though. 🙂

    Looks like the game Death Stranding. But with parachutes and cow instead of zip lines

    You can skip all the prep and start with the jump at the 4:35 mark. Less than 2-1/2 mins of this video show the actual flying.
