The day I almost died

This was an rescue mission for a new paraglider that had fallen down the mountain. My friend had to throw his cutaway (base canopy) the night before and his new Acro glider was stranded on the mountain. It's about $3500 US to replace the paraglider and there was a storm coming so we had to head out quickly!

As you can tell from the picture, we made it.......

Here's a view of my locations over the 7 hour ordeal.
