Congratulations to all concerned.

Wonder what the minimum wind speed had to be for the feat.

My guess would be about 60 Kts at that high altitude.

Then that necessary wind would have to be very turbulent going over/around the peak.

Hope there was an accompanying aircraft with a photographer aboard
