Georgian Nika Lebanidze climbs 7.7km peak to capture base jumping record (VIDEO)

Georgian extreme sports cameraman Nika Lebanidze became part of a record-breaking mountain peak leap by a world famous base jumper earlier this month, with the Georgian capturing the feat on lens.

On October 5 Lebanidze found himself on the peak of Mount Cho Oyu, situated on the border between China and Nepal, alongside Russia's Valery Rozov, a global base jumping legend. The extreme sport involves parachuting or wingsuit flying from cliffs or mountaintops.

At an altitude of 7,700m above sea level, Mount Cho Oyu is the world's sixth highest.

The Georgian cameraman captured Rozov as he leapt off the mountain peak and his subsequent descent, falling from 7,700m to 6,000m, which broke a 2013 base jumping altitude record - also set by the Russian - by 500 metres.

The jump was the finishing touch of a complex expedition that began with the record-breaking attempt group face face difficult conditions on their way up the peak.

Climbing Cho Oyu is no small accomplishment on its own, let alone base jumping from the top of the south-west wall," stated a Red Bull extreme sports report on the jump.

A recent dump of fresh snow and a few days of very bad weather meant the group were unable to reach the exit spot at the first attempt. They had to wait a full week before being able to make another attempt."

The Georgian has also collaborated with Red Bull on various video productions showcasing extreme sports and racing.
