Climbing 9132 m in a Day - Hike & Fly Everesting

Everesting my backyard mountain with a paraglider - 8848+ m vertical gain hike & fly.
===English subtitles available!===
In May 2020, I challenged myself to a long Hike & Fly day at the Wallberg, just to find out how well I'd do over the course of a day. From dawn till dusk, I managed to accumulate over 5000 m vertical gain and with this day the idea of Everesting was planted in my mind. Due to the Covid epidemic, gondolas were closed anyway most of the year and so I was able to make good progress with my training. Eventually, one year later, June 2021 and it's long days around the summer solstice came. The weather this month wasn't particularly good, but one day, the 26.06, at least looked kind of promising with chances of fog in the early morning and strong north-east winds in the afternoon. I decided to give it a shot at the Brauneck in the Bavarian Alps.
