Overview

Eric Jones has participated in some of the world's most dangerous sports - with a parachute he has jumped off buildings and bridges and made the first cliff jump off the Eiger North Face and then Angel Falls in Venezuela. He was part of a team who flew a hot air balloon over Mount Everest but his ultimate dream was to climb the notorious North Wall of the Eiger alone. Eric had already soloed the North Faces of the Matterhorn & the Piz Badille as well as the second ever solo of the Bonatti Pillar on the Dru.
