I took it to mean 2000 feet horizontally since they mentioned that they hiked out of the canyon.

I'm guessing the 2000 feet was a mix of horizontal and vertical. They usually do these flights along slopes into the canyon, the type of face you could mostly walk down with some climbing. It makes for a great video as they are relatively close to the ground the whole time they are gliding.

The risk is that relatively close becomes too close in an instant, as was the case here.
