Thought this video would be a good lead in to a new topic. Fantastic drone footage.

 

Wow that’s some speed

I would say this qualifies as extreme.

 

One slip at the wrong time and you are proper toast with those trees on some of the fast stretches.

Pretty amazing, paragliding up to ski down 5k+m mountains. That's 19k ft. And they did it without supplemental O2. Also amazing is the cinematography that documented their adventure.

At 22:58 mark you can see the effects of low O2 levels and how it leads to altitude sickness. Luckily the guy in this video who did a 7,266m summit, alone, made it safely back.

Pretty impressive, especially when you keep in mind they're moving at about 120 mph. Like how they breakaway from the formation at the end.

Edited to add: The formation from a different perspective.

I think this qualifies as extreme.

Edited to add: Just before the very top I noticed a very flat section of the tower with no apparent hand holds. This vid is queued to start at that point and how he used a temporary rope ladder to scale that portion.
