As mentioned earlier today in our update from the Karakoram, climber Max Berger not only summited Broad Peak last week, he also paraglided back down the mountain. The weather wasn’t very cooperative up high, so he flew from Camp 3 (Which, let’s face it, is still pretty high!) and captured the short, but sweet video above.
Now, he hopes to do the same from the summit of K2. He’s headed to that peak now with an eye on flying from the summit. That would also be a video I’d love to see.
