Jump from Netherstorm to Hellfire Peninsula

Xtreme sports, Outland style. Which makes me wonder: what's the highest point in Azeroth and Outland? Surely it's Blackrock Mountain, right? The top of Ironforge Mountain? Or Mount Hyjal? If it didn't exist officially only the Caverns of Time at this point, that is. And surely Molten Core is the lowest point in the land, but what's the lowest non-instanced point? Un'goro?

I've made similar videos with my flying from Ironforge to Searing Gorge and from Teldrassil across the ocean to Darkshore. Using unlimited slowfalls is kind of cheating, in my stunts of relied on pure luck from multiple slowfall procs off noggenfodder.

My vote goes to Mount Hyjal (outside of CoT), in darkwhisper gorge you can walljump into Mount Hyjal (plenty of vids on youtube). From there I jumped off the cliff w/ a nog potion and the slow fall effect actually ran out before i hit the floor.
I was able to float all the way to Auberdine where my Horde corpse fell out of the sky and scared the Alliance lowbies running about.

I used to enjoy slow-falling from Winterspring to Azshara with my Mage. It takes 5 Light Feathers, which means the ride is slightly longer than 2 minutes.

Amazing, I was just thinking about this a few nights ago at around 4 in the morning. The highest spot in Outland that I have found is on one of the floating rocks in Netherstorm between Manaforge B'naar and the Arklon Ruins. It looks to me like those rocks are about as far away from the ceiling of the world as the height of 6 to 8 undead mages. You can actually look down from these rocks and see lightning beneath you.
Good place to sit and think or whatever else it is you do at your computer desk ;)

I vote for Mount Hyjal, uninstanced, as the highest point. You get up to Winterspring, and you're all like, "Wow, I'm pretty high up in the mountains and it's snowing pretty hard", and then you look off and see Hyjal in the distance...and it's just way way higher than you are.

Highest point in Azeroth is either Teldrassil (from where you can jump to Darkshore, travelling through about 40 seconds of fatigue) or Hyjal. On the latter, I've seen a vid somewhere of a gnome mage doing a mount-jump-dismount and hopping all the way across Felwood and Darkshore to the sea outside Auberdine.

That gets me curious about other Outland jumps. Could you jump from the southern spikes of Blade's Edge Mountains and float all the way to Nagrand? If so, how far across Nagrand?

What about the twin colossals in Ferelas? Even with a chute I seem to land in a bad spot every time ;)
