Entire Picket range on paraglider

[glassgowkiss]

Nick Neynens flew over entire Picket Range earlier this summer. He took off from Artist Point and landed past Ross Lake. This is definitely first in North Cascades. Respect! It was on August 06 or 07, smoke and all.

Jason, there were some insane flights this year. Jessie Williams flew from Sauk, around back of Shucksan and Baker to Mosquito Lake Rd. Paul Baron flew from Blanchard to Concrete, over Sisters Range, Nick traversed entire Pickets and Sawtooth ranges, plus traversed Canadian Rockies unsupported, Jessie Williams flew from Blanchard to Hope, Cedar Wright flew from Tumwater to Pateros, Mitch Riley flew from Blanchard to Tiger, following Skagit flats and foothills of the Cascades. Alex Raymont flew from Pemberton to Squamish and back to Pemby via 213.24km triangle. This was Canadian triangle record, which stood only for a couple of days, as Igor Tolsky flew 238.5km triangle only a couple of days later. Benjamin Jordan flew from Roosville , MT to McBride, smoke and all in 50 days.
