Pamir Highway: An epic drive on the roof of the world

I feel like we're watering down the word epic, because even hiking or cycling can't compare to traversing it on a hang glider you built yourself, as I once did.

A lot of westerners think they can find epic adventure, but they can't. Not when they have a first world family or nest to return to. A true epic adventurer has no safety net, much like me on my homemade glider.

Of course it is, he's critizing the OP for gatekeeping an adventure to only hiking or cycling rather than experiencing the journey on whatever means you find exciting such a car or motorcycle.
