God our Lord, bless you, protect you and heal you. And your family also 🙏

[@sandrainthesky1011]

That was epic! I know I will never fly from Everest as couldn't get up it, but luckily others post videos like this so we can all have a peek! Thanks you guys!

Everest paragliding thrilling experience really great, please take care thanks for sharing very beautiful video congratulations 🙏

Stunning,absolutely spectacular! Thanks for taking us along❤

Man, the coolest shit randomly hits my KZbin feed! Thank you for this!

[@xi.xxxv_]

you had the greatest views bro what an awesome and incredibly breathtaking experience! thanks for sharing this to us

[@pinetree2473]

Was thinking he'd go down to base camp, but obviously went far beyond. Then questioned why he didn't land closer to those buildings. Anyways, great ride, one for the books, remarkable views of parts of Everest rarely seen so well. Thanks!

[@gilljanab]

Bcs this place was marked as helipad if you can moreover a pail surface whereas nearby to camps he would have landed on rocks....more chances of getting injured

[@ramdas363]

@@eugenehayden3571 Didn't the Nepalis who did this first fly to Lukla? Also no hate but starting from the summit would have been cooler. The way he did it any experienced pilot could do it, there doesn't seem much risk. You just have to get some expensive permit, which is probably why it still isn't a popular way of getting down the mountain. Definitely safer than going through the icefall, that's for sure.

[@Andizu1]

​@ramdas363 the air is too thin around the summit to carry a paraglider. Same reason why helicopters can't reach above camp 2/3. The paraglider would just plummet off the face of the mountain if he tried that.

[@ramdas363]

@@Andizu1 That's obviously false and fyi a Eurocopter AS350 piloted by Didier Delsalle has already touched down on the summit of Everest years ago.

[@cattymajiv]

@@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits I would just love to see that! Any idea where I can find that?

[@RareAirTwo4]

This would be ideal for me. I'm exceptionally good going uphill, steep mountains, but I'm terrible at the descent with my long legs and limbs. I would consider training to be a decent paraglider if I were to ever try scaling up Mt. Everest. Seems much more efficient and safe.

[@Leo-eb1wl]

The whole way down I was imaging a Sherpa hanging off his back banging a leather drum 😂

[@robinmcdaniel5905]

I don't believe it! I thought that wouldn't be possible. I thought way too windy! I'm speechless. Much, much respect!!! 😱🤯💯❤💯💪🤙

[@negautrunks]

Wow why don't most people do this? Seems like the smart way down. Faster and less likely to get stuck and freeze. If you're a capable glider that is. Beautiful and great job congrats

[@heightsofsagarmatha]

Probably requires especially clear conditions

[@TimesUp777]

For one thing it would be heavy to carry up there.

[@negautrunks]

@@TimesUp777 that is a really good point, I'm not a professional climber, and could never dream to afford to climb Everest nor be in that physical condition. But it makes sense that although parachutes are light combined with all the other gear you need to take up there I'm sure that the price for taking your parachute with you could be very high

[@MuthafukinG]

People have a lot of expectations but they never meet. Everest is a beast.

[@TimesUp777]

@@negautrunks yea, even though the parachute is light any extra weight you have when climbing Everest makes it that much harder. When they get into the death zone every step is difficult. I have always been fascinated by Everest but I will never climb it.

[@sgvincent100]

That was incredible! How is this not blowing up? ✌🏼👍🏽🙏🏻

[@qweds3127]

Maybe because they didn't do this from the summit . Still an awesome achievement though.

[@antman8467]

Wow that was incredible! It looked a bit sketchy at the start, I thought you didn't have enough lift for a sec!

[@levetbyck]

0:30 his shoulder straps were also all the way out on his elbows/biceps (but probably necessary)

[@tomesguerra5495]

So amazing you have two big ones to pull this off!

[@VapidToast]

Why does this not have more views?? This is epic level shit here

[@sarmilarai3943]

somebody thought may it is not real

[@VapidToast]

@@sarmilarai3943 Ahh, that makes sense

[@thatwasantique6708]

@@VapidToast how's it not real? The only reason maybe because true Mountaineers might think that this is a short cut With no time people will start to be flown to let's say ABC or camp 1 in order to not go through khumbu icefall😂😂

[@danielledewitt1]

@@sarmilarai3943 Clearly it is real.

[@paulgrey8028]

@@thatwasantique6708 the air is way too thin for choppers to land and takeoff at that height, especially not with extra weight on board. An Italian expedition used two choppers to ferry gear above the Khumbu Icefall [in 1978 IIRC] One chopper crashed. No expedition has tried this since.

[@heightsofsagarmatha]

0:57 is incredible view of Everest, it is huge

[@neetlikitkhom266]

This is the salvation for those who want to go home before others. We should all have parachutes like this 😅👍

[@Compassionate38]

Very satisfying to watch. I wonder how long it took to get down?

[@BilluAwann]

Legends have it that this man have balls made out of titanium ! Brilliantly brave man

[@laupeter4594]

wow what a quick way to get out of dangers of everest!

[@heathercurry898]

Im seeing an Everest zip-line in the future, for sure

[@MagMontagneMagy74]

whaouu !! 36 years ago it was : 1st take-off from Everest by paraglider - September 26, 1988 by Jean-Marc BOIVIN !

[@Teacher2Polis2XtraRice]

Wow. Thats from Camp 4.

[@StylinnShot]

i have no idea how that little bit of fabric could even lift this guy, seeing how his balls are bigger than the moon... jeeeeeeeeesh

[@lizarrrdbeth]

Plus you have that in-flight band!!

[@Irdanwen]

Very impressive feat, well done. The sound on this video was very strange and disconnected from the images, just a drum, not a beat, no build-up, it was a very strange sound to listen to.

[@caiusKeys]

Incroyable!

[@chrisroub-4-181]

Sick video!!Gratz dude!!!

[@flyingparapente6485]

Beautiful, bravo 🙏

beats hiking down

[@MrIsomer]

Bravo!

[@suemoo22]

Awesome!

[@SonofIce514]

I was thinking other day that climbers must have a parachute with them. In case of any issues during descent one would've the best chance to save his life.

[@andreasandremyrvold]

Jumanji drums?

[@gordonis179577]

Looks a lot easier than climbing back down.

[@zephyrjo6947]

What a dream !!!

[@pamelabewley1685]

Holy cow!!! Now that's a brave man! Maybe someone should train climbers to do that coming down, would be a most epic adventure and a good money making business! Absolutely awesome!

[@AK-jt9gx]

The last thing Everest needs is more “money making businesses” that service recently ‘trained’, inexperienced rich tourists

[@basilbrush9075]

​@@AK-jt9gxyou read my mind

[@Itsroxxworld]

Good job

[@yendorelrae5476]

Is this guy banging his war drum during his descent? I thought at the start of the video it was his steps, but it kept going...

[@yendorelrae5476]

Oh yeah, great video!

[@todosobregen]

heavy 😮😮😮😮 re heavy, que locura

[@ФинтикФунтик]

супер спуск! и нечего париться 👍

[@glenmcneill1675]

Did he carry the glider up?

[@themobseat]

That worked out far better than the guy who tried to snowboard down Everest.

[@Punkster556]

0:46 which is that mountain?

[@danielledewitt1]

Read the video title.

[@johnkoch1888]

Cho Oyu is the distant peak to the upper center-right at 0:46. It is at 28.096 lat., 88.661 long. and stands 8.2k meters high. In the foreground, below the flyer, are Hungchhi and Chumbu.

[@Goats22]

this is a WAY better way to get down than climbing back down. and probably a lot safer too

who hit the tom

[@davep2446]

He took off from the South Col, that's no where near the summit..

[@Bigrailindad333]

I don’t know why more climbers don’t do this?

[@drdlugi]

At least one tourist carried himself 02 bottle down the mountain :)

[@markfromct2]

Great video. The drums are REALLY ANNOYING!

[@Pytte]

imagine this video.. but without the drums.. would have been epic..

[@penntaylor5110]

That's rad

[@martinginsburg7222]

That was not a summit flight

[@rockercater]

*No drums next time lol

[@TelPrank]

man you could fly all the way down to Lukla airport like this😅 anyway great shoot👍🏻 btw have you summited?

[@TheXone7]

If you’re a highly experienced paraglider, the weather is stable, and you have a clear landing zone planned, paragliding from the top of Mount Everest can be safer than descending on foot. This assumes you have the right equipment, oxygen supply, and understanding of Himalayan wind patterns. For the average climber, however, the inherent risks of paragliding make the descent on foot the safer choice.

[@Silagepunk-77]

Great soundtrack too….is that some shamanic drumming?

[@nekminnit6740]

That's sarcasm right there👆😅 #incessant noise

[@thewhitewitch7691]

🪂🪂🪂🪂🪂🪂🎿🪂🪂🪂🧗‍♀️🏵️

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Could you rescue someone like this? Paraglide them off the mountain? I guess in a few years there will be rescue drones capable of taking people off the mountain. By "a few years" I mean at some point in the future drones will ber able to fly up to a person and if someone can attach them, fly them back down. I know the air gets thin but still.

[@cattymajiv]

Oh yeah. It will happen, for sure.

[@claudiomoura7556]

[@panganaybunso5257]

Please train Sherpa to glide down and immediately respond who in danger

[@dbsnyder4503]

Great video. But the drumming drove me nuts.

[@circomnia9984]

7 Summits 7 Flights? Maybe Google the word "Summit"? Title should be "Paragliding off the side of Everest", or "Paragliding off the South-Col of Everest". Still, cool views of Everest from an angle and places you don't often get to see up close.

[@D_Height_Climbs]

This is absolutely beautiful. But is nobody going to ask what the f*ck the background music is

[@dumbcat]

that's the way to do it. climbing down is the worst

[@HemanthBeera]

Paragliding and base jumping may help in bringing down sick hikers through emergency rescue to base camp.

[@mountainflyhigh]

Biffed the landing - LOL

[@mimivivi3003]

Так и нужно перемещаться через ледопад сразу в базовый зачем идти )

[@martinginsburg7222]

4:52 Not very Pro move as you were more worried about the camera than killing your wing hence it & you got gusted backwards. Do that again and a bigger gust = bigger problems. Since you didn't launch from the top, if I take off anywhere, even 20 feet up Everest it too would be considered a flight off Everest. Regardless a bold flight

[@levetbyck]

couldn’t it just be the camera lens that makes the side view look warped.. (i mean, i thought the same)

[@kurtmilliken8226]

awesome... could do without all that pounding on the drums!
