Just saw that kiwi (paul something) on Real TV drop a 224.5ft cliff. Friggen crazy. They marked every 25 ft off his fall, the cliff makes 100ft look wuss.

Yeah it is crazy, i've seen the cliff he did it off, its in the backcountry of the Remarkables. Which is near queenstown New Zealand. He broke his sternem when he landed (or more accuratley cratered). The most recent issue of powderhound has pics of it.

maybe you can get it on realtv.com??

It was totally insane. Cratered is putting it lightly, it looked like he hit pavement he stopped so fast.
