The Birdman of the Karakoram

wow, you must have gonads the size of melons!

Nice one Al, you put it together nicely. It was really nice to send time with you guys in Hunza. I'm about to spend a few weeks with John, Eddie and Jim in India on their 'Vol Safari' trip. I'm still looking for that house in N. Wales ... Colin

Fanfuckingtastic.

Nice !!!!!!!!

Excellent piece of work Alun! I'm off to Nepal to fly next Feb/Mar and this really whets my apetite, so I'm really looking forward to it! Keep up the good work! Dave

Awesome piece of art, John ! At the end those kids having the little toy floating ... are simply sublime Chapeau...

That was amazing!! Truly living!!!

Karakoram in Pakistan is Crazy dream Some people make it true

What a stunning location, you are so lucky, nice filming as well.

Excellent, looking forward to watching the complete film.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I've flown a Cessna once over the mountains in Gilgit, but haven't learned how to paraglide yet. A couple questions: 1) Was the temperature at the peak altitude any lower than at the ground from where you took off? 2) Did you need any oxygen-supply equipment? I ask this because the air is normally very thin at high altitudes, and makes breathing difficult.

Totally amazing stuff John Bruce

pakistan is cool@@!!!!

love this video, you're great John, thanks for showing us those lovely Hunzakuts and there amazing Northern Areas from above, and greetings to our good friend Aslam (2' 07").

I think the happiest I have ever been is in Pakistan. Wonderful people, amazing country. I hope that Pakistan can recover from the trouble it is experiencing.

A wonderful view of a magnificent land; must be an amazing experience in person.

Mental, looks so cold... respect John and Alun

Just out of curiosity...how crazy would one have to be to land on top of K2? Is it even possible?

Hundreds of tourists go to Karakoram. all admiration to the gentlemen here especially the cameraman who made it interesting for all of us to watch and appreciate.

Thank you for sharing. I have been searching for this video for a few years. It is one of the most memorable documentaries I have seen.

PARABÉNS! GRAAAANDE VÍDEO! FORRRTE ABRAÇO Rosan Garcia

We will see..

This is what children needs (for their phantasy) the best education..but the temperature..is a real problem (painfull) ..extremities..the engineers have..I hope..(a solution)..John Silvester & cameraman..to see a pioneer, is best inspiration for all humans..
