Description
Daniel (Australian) had an unstable head down launch. He then tried out tracking the ledge and hit the wall at eight seconds.
His canopy deployed, it hit the wall, and deflated.
Daniel tumbled down and came to rest under the ice at the top of the talus.
It took 45-days to recover Daniel's body.
This is Trollveggen's fifth BASE fatality.
