Paragliding pilot Tom de Dorlodot has spent his life chasing the wildest skies on Earth – but few adventures demand more endurance, survival instincts and sheer nerve than flying among the world’s highest peaks. Alongside his friend Horacio Llorens, Tom set out with an ambitious goal: to take human flight to places it had never been before. When shifting wind conditions forced a change of plan, they seized a new opportunity – to fly to K2 and soar among the towering giants of the Karakoram mountain range, navigating lines no paraglider had ever flown, even hitching a ride with an eagle.

In this episode, I talk to Tom about what it takes to paraglide at extreme altitude, the survival mindset required when the wind turns, and why the spirit of adventure keeps drawing him back to some of the planet’s most remote and unforgiving landscapes. We dive into his love for the unknown, the lessons learned from risk, and the optimism that allows him to keep going – even when nature doesn’t play along. From humble beginnings in Belgian fields to navigating the untouched landscapes of the world’s biggest mountain ranges, Tom’s story is one of grit, curiosity and a profound connection to the mountains.
