Cheers, appreciated the read. Who was he then, Greeny?

Ralph Greenaway ('Greeny') was an experienced English jumper who disappeared in Sept 2014. Ralph had commented to friends he would be jumping from Mt Rundle, Canada but failed to return. It is thought he was either killed during the jump or died later from injures received. Given the remoteness of the location, search and rescue efforts were unable to find his body. Ralph was a quiet unassuming guy. Only when prodded would you know he was a member of the UK Special Forces, climbed in the Himalayas, sailed across the Atlantic solo alongside completing multi endurance events. ' friends state Ralph was well equipped for this particular jump and had very advanced outdoor skills'

I never met him but I have been or rather was following the exploits of Greeny from almost two decades ago. I was super interested as I too never got formal training but nothing anywhere near the incredible experiences that he had.

I didnt realise he had gone until now. What a real shame.

Ralph was a narly dude. Before he died he was flying Heli’s for fire in Canada. I met him at the confluence of the Grand Canyon and he had been there a week before we got there wing suiting by himself. This man had no stop. On top of w.s. Stuff he helped carve the way for ultra low jumps early on. God speed Ralph .
