Lucille De Beaudrap, a Paraglider pilot from Edmonton is in Nepal
right now preparing to climb Everest. There is still about a month before she
will summit as I think she is aiming for mid May.

Her blog that is updated all the time is here:

I believe Willi Muller taught her to fly paragliders. She did try hang gliding
first, but her small stature made it difficult.
