The X-Rockies
Two French cousins are in the USA on an ambitious attempt to travel the length of the Rocky Mountains by foot, ski and paraglider – with no motorised transport at all.
Thomas Punty, 24, and Nelson Defreyman, 22, set off from Canada in the north in March and are now “about to hit Salt Lake City”.
Nelson, who supported Antoine Gerard in the Red Bull X-Alps last year, said: “We have been walking and flying since British Columbia, Canada and we should hit Albuquerque, New Mexico in about a month and a half.”
