Francois Bon

On Jun 14, 2006, François Bon and Antoine Montant executed the world’s first speed-flying descent of the Eiger in Switzerland. Wearing skis and a paragliding sail, they descended from the top edge of the iconic mountain’s west face to the bottom of its notorious north face, skiing and flying low over a long steep minefield of ice and rock and snow.
