Speed Flying Mont Blanc: VIDEO
Happy Mother's Day! Please begin your morning with something beautiful -- such as this video of several "speed flyers" descending Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. It's a ten-minute video, in which the speed flyers descend from a height of 4,304 meters to a height of 930 meters. The descent is captured in a single, continuous, and unceasingly gorgeous take, which is one of the greatest cinematographic feats I know of.
Watch AFTER THE JUMP. In full screen, preferably on a large-ish monitor with decent speakers.
WOW!!
Thanks for sharing!

Amazing !
Le massif du Mont Blanc Is mostly in France but spans the Italian border. Your tag of Switzerland is misleading.

Amazing, but I doubt their mothers enjoyed watching it, so not a great idea for Mother' Day.

I never fail to be amazed at the skills of some people - the ability to soar like that, to stay in formation, and to catch it all in one shot.
