Was curious to hear other opinions on this video Jost posted during his Everest training. His launch and subsequent flying looks quite out of control. As a novice pilot, I am a bit unsure how chaotic things can look in extreme environments while still being within an acceptable safety margin. But this flying doesn't look at all as controlled as what I see during the x-alps which is clearly pretty extreme. I was also surprised that someone would take such a (seemingly) big risk in a remote, high altitude area, where rescue is surely much more complicated than in a place like the Alps.
