On 13th August 2009 Terry Stubbs Jr.and Gordie Oliver Speed-Fly Ben Nevis West face, Great Britains highest peak at 1,344 metres (4,409 ft)
Marked track is the Route up to Summit.
After climbing to the summit they found a suitable launch site around 300 ft below the summit at a point above Five Finger Gully. With a Wind speed around 5mph from the west and a cloudbase below 4000 ft they fly back down to Glen Nevis at just under 4,000ft of vertical decent, the largest flight avialable in the UK.
