Mountaineer paraglides from 7119 m near Lenin Peak summit

German mountaineer Jost Kobusch stunned social media by paragliding from 7,119 metres, just 15 metres below Kyrgyzstan's Lenin Peak summit. After years of pursuing the climb, Kobusch described the high-altitude launch as surreal and nerve-racking. He said flying down from a seven-thousander instead of descending on foot was one of his most memorable mountain experiences.
