'For its sheer audacity and story telling power, one of my favourites.' – Banff Mountain Film festival



Two pilots, one paraglider.
 No roads. No hotels. No phones. No electricity. No support.

 This Alun Hughes film documents the first crossing of Western Nepal by paraglider.

He promised himself then that he would return someday to climb it and BASE jump off the top for a complete Winterhoek experience.

Remarkable film of BASE jumping with the world’s fastest bird in pursuit.
