In October 2008, Positive Liberty supported Carrie Holmes to become the first American woman to skydive in front of Mt. Everest.  There were a total of 18 solo and 18 tandem jumpers as part of the event.

More information about the event:  Everest Skydive surpassed any experience or adventure in skydiving so far.  Since 1991, the skydiving and BASE jumping communities have landed on the North and South Poles and BASE jumped at Angel Falls, Venezuela.  All fabulous and awe inspiring adventures in their own right, they were the historic building blocks for this new and exciting challenge.

Everest Skydive pushed the boundaries harder and higher by challenging the diverse ability to handle two harsh and extreme environments – high altitude at 29,500ft plus extreme cold. Skydivers jumped from 29,500ft and landed at the highest drop zone (DZ) in the world at 12,350ft.

Combine the visual impact of looking onto the summit of Mt. Everest and some of the other highest mountains in the world and freefalling past them, this adventure was a feast stimulating all senses to the point of near overload.  Everest Skydive required the knowledge and skills of an unusual group of skydivers and mountineers.
