French paraglider Antoine Girard made history by soaring well above 26,000 feet in mountainous Pakistan.
From his vantage point in the air, Antoine Girard soared nearly level with the summits of Pakistan’s jagged snowcapped mountains: K2, Broad Peak, and G4.
The French athlete wasn’t flying in a commercial aircraft, though. He was bundled up like a mountaineer in a snowstorm, breathing oxygen from a tank, and cruising along in his paraglider, reports Planetmountain.com.
