Mount Infinity
Das Schweizer Fernsehen zeigt heute Abend 4. September 2012 um 18:55 den Dokumentarfilm «Mount Infinity» mit Judith Zweifel in der Reihe «Sommer-Challenge» auf SF2.
Link zur Sendung
In der dritten Folge der «Sommer-Challenge» will die Gleitschirmakrobatik-Weltmeisterin Judith Zweifel das derzeit schwierigste Gleitschirmmanöver, das Infinity Tumbling, lernen. Bis anhin beherrschen nur Männer diese Technik. Beim Tumbling fliegt der Pilot nicht wie beim klassischen Looping über den Schirm hinweg, sondern die Drehachse liegt zwischen Pilot und Schirm. Das Akrobatik-Manöver verzeiht keine Fehler. Das weiss Judith Zweifel. Immer wieder stellt sich die Ende 1977 Geborene im Training ihren Ängsten und sucht neue Wege, um diese zu überwinden. Mit ihrem selbstgedrehten Videotagebuch gewährt sie einen seltenen Einblick in die Innenwelt einer Spitzensportlerin. Zu sehen sind spektakuläre Bilder einer aussergewöhnlichen Sportart und die berührende, ehrliche Geschichte einer eindrücklichen Sportlerin.

Climbing and paragliding in the Eiger region
Thanks to high Achim, the weekend of 18/19 August 2012 was probably “THE” weekend of this summer. Hot and magnificent weather and in particular it was stable without any risk of thunderstorm. Together with Markus Zimmermann Itook the train up to the Schilthorn. From the famous Piz Gloria we glided to the other side of the valley, where we landed on an Alp. The distance was approx. 6 km. From our landing place we hiked up 1000 meter to the Rotal hut. A magnificent summer evening in the mountains expected us. The ridges and border of the mountains were so clear in the horizon at sunset. It has been quite a while I had seen such an brilliant sunset. The night was short. Already at 3 pm Markus and I stood in front of the hut. Our goal was the Jungfrau over the Rotal ridge. Early in the morning we reached the summit of the Jungfrau. At 8 pm our paragliders were ready for another flight. We had perfect north-west-wind, ideal conditions to start. My flight lasted 27 minutes. I landed on the glacier underneath the Mönch Northface. Markus flew to another direction towards Wilderwil.
So now I was on my way alone. I put my paraglider back into my backpack and I started to climb again. The Lauperroute at the Mönch was after exactly one hour and 55 minutes below me and I stood on the second summit of the famous „Oberländer Dreigestirns“. The wind was still very gentle. Another time I could enjoy the luxury of a flight. I flew from the Mönch over the “Eigerjöche” to “Eismeer”; a complete change of scenery . In the middle of crevasses I found a place to land. Again I packed my equipment into my backpack. It was already quite warm on this Saturday afternoon and the sun burned on the glacier. I wanted to leave this place as fast as possible. I had to hike back for about half an hour to reach the way to the Mitellegi hut. Once I reached the hut I enjoyed a decent meal: bread and mountain cheese. Simply great after all the sweet powerbars. I set off my afternoon tour at the "Mittellegigrat". Exactly at 15.13 hours I reached the summit of the Eiger: Once more in my life and again a very special moment to me.
To fly means something completely new to me. You need a lot of pacience if you want to have good conditions to be able to fly and climb at the same time. I had this idea of flying and climbing for a long time. I am happy that it worked. My summit rest last only for a short moment. I descended over the west side until I was at the height of the “Genferpfeiler”. I was happy to still find good wind conditions. My legs started to be tired and the flight down do Stechelberg was definitively less exhausting than walking. At 17.00 hours a long day came to its end.

’50′ pilots topland Mont Blanc as Chamonix sees record day
A record 50+ paraglider pilots successfully top-landed Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps, on Sunday 19 August, a day which will surely go down in Chamonix paragliding history as one of the most remarkable ever.
With pilots climbing to 5,000m and blue skies all around, one of the pilots, Sylvain Gattini, summed up the experience of landing on Europe’s highest peak saying, “And here I am, in heaven!”

Human Birdwings
Engineer Jarno Smeets (31) is the first man in history to have made a successful short flight with his self-built wings modeled on the movement and structure of real bird wings. Assisted by an electronic system of his own design, Smeets took off from the ground in a park in The Hague last sunday 18th of March 2012. The flight of an estimated hundred meters lasted about a minute, after which Smeets landed safely.
