Jon, if you haven't already, you might enjoy reading about Shane McConkey. He's billed as a professional skiier and BASE jumper, but that doesn't begin to do him justice. He did amazing feats, including skiing down a mountainside stark naked.
I learned about him in Steve Kotler's book, The Art of Impossible, though mentions of McConkey are spread throughout so you'd have to read the whole book; not a hardship. There are YouTubes on him, and even a movie -- go here for a trailer: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2845780/.

Jon, very sorry -- I recommended the wrong book to you above. The one I had in mind is The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance. I regret this error; I hope you didn't spend a lot of time on the wrong book.

I might try that if I was already up there for some other reason, but I wouldn’t go up there just to do that.
So maybe if your plane had crashed up there and you found that your headphones had landed on the other side of the chasm? That would be annoying. Then, you'd get there and you'd find they were somebody else's headphones after all.

My rule of thumb is that, after a plane crash on a craggy peak, it's finder's keepers.
