Getting ready to fly

This climber was dreaming about flying down from the summit of Muztagh Ata. Here he's making a test on 5000m. The Kmatolja glacier and the impressive Kongur massif in the background.

Re: Did he succeed?

I don't know if his dream worked out as I was on my way down from the peak for the last time.
Later I heard about a climber who intended to fly from the summit who got HAPE. It's not this guy who's German. The person who got HAPE was from somewhere else. I should add that he survived.
