INTO THIN AIR Fusing big mountains with wingsuit flying was only a matter of time for Tim Howell, and at the end of 2022 , he set off to Argentina, for the first ever high-altitude wingsuit flight. Story and Photos by | Tim Howell
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Walking away from Aconcagua back down the valley in not so favourable conditions; Ecstatic all went to plan. A successful landing after the world’s first high altitude wingsuit flight; After turning the corner into the last valley, this is where you finally catch the first sight of Aconcagua’s summit; Ewa and Tim take a much needed rest at 6650m above sea level; With Aconcagua now on our back we trace the trail over the next two days back to the park entrance. It's always special to share these expeditions with my wife, when we are tested to the extremes the simple tests in life seem easier.
