Former SAS trooper [Bear] Grylls, who in 1998 scaled the 8,848-metre (29,198-feet) peak on foot and became the youngest Briton to do so, took off from Pheriche near Everest using a specially developed paramotor -- a thrust-pack worn on the body.
Fellow flyer Gilo Cardozo, who developed the special paramotor, turned back before the summit with engine trouble but managed to glide back to base camp safely.
Considering helicopters can't fly this high...
