Thats a wild pic and from that angle almost looks like you are jumping to your death. -Tim-

	Voted 10/10	It seems like there is a ledge 2 or 2.50 m below where he took off. As well one of you could have helped him by putting your shoulders. Did he landed well? Did he injure himself? By the way, I've done a similar move wearing crampons and landing on a steep hard snow patch

I used to do stuff like that with an external frame Kelty Tioga but I got out of that habit very quickly.

	Voted 10/10	I asked if he injured himself because you seemed doubtful about the jump idea ("seemed like a good idea at the time! Smart?")
