“I remember driving up to launch for my first mountain flights with a mix of dread and excitement, but I caught my first thermal that day, and flew with a red-tail hawk. That was it, mind exploded.

For me, flying is a fresh way to explore the world on a really macro scale. It's quite a contrast from my 30 years spent exploring the micro scale in rock climbing.

I love that feeling of nervous uncertainty at the start of a big flight. I love encountering the unexpected. I love trying to build mental models for a chaotic and invisible force! I love the way you have to adapt and evolve with the changing conditions of the day. I love optimizing and pushing my psychological and intellectual abilities. I love how outrageous and otherworldly it feels to be transported long distances with wind, string and fabric. And I love that paragliding has a wonderful community of people that I love dearly”
