In 2015 our friend Trent Conroy discovered this beautifull line and invited Sebastian to fly it.

Exit point Aiguille du Midi 3842 mt, Chamonix-France.

Dario and Sebastian found this line so amazing and challenging, they spend 2 weeks flying the line, checking and making sure the line was clear and with no wires or big branch or anything can make the line unsafe. Actually, if you pay attention to the video there are wires at the beginning of the line few second after they connect to terrain flight, wires from the old cable car. But we go below them :) and a horizontal tree, just at the end of the left turn, coming out from left to right.

The name of the line Old Man Line is in honor of our friend Dave Buchanan.

Sit back, relax and enjoy what they do best!
