"Everything that we depended on for our safety was dying in front of us. Only our oxygen and engines were still working, thank God. It felt incredible to be powered upwards so quickly by these Parajet machines, even though the techies had told us that such a fast ascent was impossible."

Bear Grylls comments on 14th May 2007 after flying over Everest with Parajet Managing Director Gilo Cardozo

 

“This has been a dream come true, I always believed if we kept our faith we could pull this off. This project has been so humbling. I had no idea how huge this giant of a peak truly is.”
