I heard it is a DPCer that participated in the "Sun in frame" challenge, and he didn't even make it to the top 10!!!

Did he jump over thousands of feet of empty air? No. But did he jump over a gap that, had he fallen, could have hurt him and his camera? Not to mention that if he'd landed wrong, he could've pitched over a much more serious drop? You betcha.
Conclusion: idiot.

Oh. Okay then.
I was dissapointed to read this was a fake, but I'm not so sure - the fifth photo in the Guardian makes it pretty clear where he jumped from and to, and i still thought it was pretty silly - so I don't feel conned because it still seems pretty dumb and I never thought he was actually jumping the whole canyon
There is a moderately intersting photoshop challenge on the guardian page linked by trumpeteer

"If we have been had, can anyone produce - by fair means or foul - any more pictures of our daring friend leaping other unlikely leaps?"
That sounds like a direct challenge to Art! (and his ilk)
And I don't think it's a fake per se, just more like misleading through good cropping.
