Valera so calmly and almost everyday talks about amazing travels and exciting adventures, as if to make them - well, just climb the mountain and ... jump. Formally speaking, it is, but between these “get”, “rise”, “jump” - so much ... a whole life. This book was written by an amazing person with whom I was lucky to be friends. Read it, visit the most inaccessible and mysterious places of the planet, find out what a person feels when he is jumping, what he feels in flight and what - when he finally lands.

The book turned out to be light and bright, so simply no one has written about extreme sports in Russian. ” Anna Piunova, editor-in-chief of the Internet portal Mountain.ru “... The world without Valera Rozov has become boring ...” Traveler Fedor Konyukhov
