I agree... though I probably wouldn't base jump myself, I have often thought it would be cool to quickly descend back to base camp with a paraglider from the summit of a mountain. Downclimbing can really suck, especially when you're tired and you've already accomplished the main objective of the day (reaching the summit), the snow is turning into porridge under the hot sun, and everything is starting to slide... how much would a paraglider weigh? I reckon you could easily stuff one into a backpack and climb with it.
