Looks like Rotwand

It is Wolfgang Weitzenböck from Austria, jumping over Rotwand in the Dolomites 1966.
The scene is from Lothar Brandler's Film "Sensation Alpen"

Wolf is still alive and very well - I did an Interview with him about this jump 2 years ago :-)

Wolf was with Erich Felbermayr on the first jump in 1965...

Is Erich still alive as well? If you still have contact information, it would be a real pleasure to talk with them if possible.
