Wingsuit Daredevil Prepares for Everest Jump 
 
 
 
If you think this looks terrifying, well, it's just trial run as high altitude climber and wingsuit explorer, Joby Ogwyn,  for his Mount Everest jump over California. 
The Louisiana-born daredevil is the world record holder for the fastest Everest climb at  and a half hours, and for his televised  in May, he plans to climb to the summit in five  and get back down in less than 10 minutes.
 
"This is a very, very big, very sophisticated, big  with a million different moving parts. There's so many things that need to go right, so many things that could go . So, in that way, it's a real . One that we'll ride out till the very end."
 
And if all goes to plan, Ogwyn will be the first  to fly a wingsuit next to the 29,000-foot mountain.
