Abstract
Mt. Everest has been climbed from all major approaches but one: an ascent from near its base to its summit in a sailplane using the rising air expected to flow over the massif. The diplomatic, logistical, aircraft and meteorological requirements for such a flight appear achieveable... Accumulated skills and knowledge plus a measure of luck should lead to a successful flight.
