Description
This report comes from a jumper on the scene:
Had been jumping for several years, and made quite a few jumps each year (not sure total jumps). Did a tracking jump from Karlskråtind. He was found with closing loops blown out, indicating no pull at all. He probably tried to out-track the ledge and failed.
