Image from Bear Grylls helmet camera

The Mission was completed in May. The dramatic image above was taken by Bear's on board helmet camera.

It captures the drama of his flight which took him higher than Mount Everest through the Himalayas.

Visit Bear's website where you can find more information on the flight including the technical data showing that Bear and Gilo surpassed all existing altitude records for powered paragliding. Both for absolute altitude and take-off altitude.

There is also the GPS data downloaded from Bear’s Garmin E-Trex GPS system and the transposed Google Earth imagery of his flight path right up until the GPS system freezes at 25,005 ft.

The raw data is available to download in Excel Spreadsheet format consisting of the Raw data taken from the GPS Unit.

You can also download the Google Earth Map created via the GPS Unit (You will need Google Earth to view this). The documents track Bear until the GPS unit Froze at 25,005ft (8.88km)
