Paraglider Pierre Carter is about to embark on his new adventure of climbing the seven summits and flying off their tops. He’s called it Seven Summits Seven Flights. Pierre, who made our radar last year when he took part in the Red Bull X-Alps challenge, has been mountaineering and paragliding for years. He has also climbed and flown off two of the seven summits, Mt Elbrus and Aconcagua.
On this expedition, he’ll be accompanied by photographer Marianne Schwankhart and paraglider Peter Friedmann.
Their first mountain will be Denali, in May/June 2010.
