I really had to know where this was filmed. I guessed right that it was Switzerland, but I still had to pan back and forth over the alps in Google Earth for a while until I found Walenstadt on lake Walensee.

Coordinates for the top of the "crack" are:
47° 8'35.47"N
9°18'18.12"E

Nope. It's the Hinterrugg South Face, about 75 miles NE of the Eiger.

O.K. It looked strangley familair. If you like foreign movies I just watched "The North Face" so that shot of the mountain just before he "jumped" looked just like the EIGER's North Face. Very nice video of the human glider. I'll take some hores power with my wings every time though.....Great video though. BTW. From where does all of your Bavarian knowledge come?
