GMHRAZ Base Jump 1980 No Wind 3,200 Feet ( Base Jumps From El Capitan, Glacier Point And Within Yosemite Park Are Now Illegal ) Do Not Sit On The Edge, as this person is doing. It is a 21 - 25 seconds of time drop altitude. Just slowly count to 24 and you still are not to the bottom. This will show you how high it is.
