Man made summits

In this video of unidentified BASE jumpers telling the story of their world record setting jump off the Burj Dubai 160 story Sky Scraper under construction in Dubai, you could almost get the impression that they were talking about a real mountain.

Still, is it comforting or irritating to know that Whitney, Denali and Everest are the highest of their kind? While climbers have to compete with harder and harder grades and human skills and imagination that keeps growing, BASE jumpers might have a new highest summit in a year or two.  And just imagine what they’ll do if they ever buid the space elevator!
