Hike to the top of Mont Blanc in a single morning and flying down to Chamonix 

Same here... :D :D :D

can this be done from k2?

​@@MrTrdsmi I'm thinking that maybe the thinner air might affect its capacity of flying; in addition, being a much higher mountain the chances of crushing on the side of the mountain must be high, and also, it would be nearly impossible to find a day with such great weather that would allow this from the summit as it is usually quite windy. However, i am definitely no expert and It would be nice if somebody else replies.

@@MrTrdsmi there are jet streams blowing up to 300 km/h

@@MrTrdsmi JM Boivin did it from everest

@@vanessaruiz4705 Has been done from top of the world - JM Boivin @Everest in 1988 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oC6bsmGgi4Q.html&ab_channel=Ukhuparagliding

i always think about why they all go up and down again when iam rdy to launch towards the LZ xD

@@floriandraxler3868 oh, i can easily tell you... my wife :-) closed to any argument that this may even involve less risk than going down...

Hi! The yellow leash is already a part of the ice axe (grivel), but I simply connected it with a piece of rope attached to the harness by a simple connector, in order not to loose it, or to secure myself when necessary. If yours does not have a leash, you can make it from any 6-8mm piece of rope, and fix it in the hole typically between the head and the shaft.

@@ov104 Perfect! I Will use your idea for sure, because our health and lifes are everything! Man you are such inspiring dude and you doing amazing things. I wanna to fly over Mont Blanc Massive in the future - can you tell me or some direct me how can I start? Where I can go to learn and read informations about that sports? This is Amazing!!!

@@RuudvanNistelrooy2006 I think the most logical step towards flying from high mountains would be completing a basic paragliding course. Once you have the basic skills to take off and land safely, you can get a light gear, and start building up your own knowledge and experience by joining expeditions together with other more experienced pilots. It is better not to be in a big hurry, and master the experience step by step. Being able to judge the weather conditions and forecasts is another big science absolutely essential for the pilots. I wish you motivation and success, and i'm quite sure you will love it! ;)

@@ov104 Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm sure that I will do the course as fast as I can, everything depends on money you know, but I will do it for sure. Thank you once again, keep inspiring and keep doing amazing things. Btw: I saw you were in my country in Hel, I recommend you to visit the rest of Poland, mostly Tatra mountains on our southern part, you would love the views!

It's a good hike 20km 3500m of elevation (obv it depands where you start exactly you can go by train to 2400m making it "only" 10km / 2400m of elevation to the top)

@@maximephth sound great, which train you are referring? do you have GPX maybe of your track?

@@FlyingSalsero Most climbers take the Bellevue telecabine from Les Houches and then get the train to Nid d'Aigle, which is about 2,370m. You can however just schlep up from Les Houches (c.1000m) itself all the way. I did this a couple of weeks ago and had the whole mountain to myself until I came over the Col des Rognes and joined the main track up to Tete Rousse. Doing Les Houches to Mont Blanc in a oner is a serious undertaking though, especially with a paraglider on your back. Fair play to the OP, that is a big day out!

Hi! It is the 18m2. But any smaller wing works just fine as well.

@@ov104 awesome ! thanks for the super quick reply !

Approximately 40 min. But another time when I landed at Passy and was flying a C wing the glide lasted 1 hour.

It is prohibited from 1st July until 31st August on the French side (but you can always fly on Italian side). But out of that period it is allowed.

Do you know why there's this prohibited period?

It is the most popular period for climbing, and unfortunately also incidents happen, and paragliders flying in the area disturb or may even inhibit the rescue operations by helicopter.

@@iacamigevaerd376 many people used the thermals to start low and topland on the summit, a few people died because of bad acclimatization and gear

@@rnkks3752 I don't get what the mountain had to do with it, since you could get high and with just the thermals. Anyway, I had no idea how big of a thing paragliding on the Alps was. I guess it's crawded, huh?
