Nanga Parbat and the Glider

 

 German alpinist David Gottler just made a new record in gliding recently.

What a brilliant and maverick idea it is. It takes weeks and months to climb the treacherous mountains and the job is yet not over, you are again in a risk to climb down. This up and down phenomenon took a lot of lives of brave climbers.

But for gottler atleast half of the journey is over, by taking great risk he has overcome numerous small risks. What a pleasant ride,clouds,fresh breeze and what not and what not.

I am wondering his brisk walk to the end of the mountain, his feelings his emotions and here he is in air traveling downwards at a massive speed and soon he will be at the base camp.

Bravo to Gottler and i think a great step towards mountaineering and climbing.
