Most (all) of the routes are bi-wingual, and we have used hang
gliding photography where we've got it - of note is Felix Wolk's pretty wild
tale of top landing Marmolada in the Dolomites on his hang glider and spending
the night on the summit before flying off again at dawn. Also, you'll see that the Zapata chapter is not in it. This is because we've
held it over for the next one in the series, which has a working title of
'Extreme Routes'. Along with surfing the Morning Glory, going wild in South
Africa and all the other crazy places.
