VFR traffic is permitted up to FL180 (18,000ft) were class A airspace begins. In class A airspace he would need an IFR certification and ATC clearance.
I'm not sure if the FAA has altitude restrictions for gliders/ultralights though.
He would need supplemental oxygen beyond 14,000ft as well.
Edit: After watching the video, he's definitely in violation of several FAA rules, and he's a moron.
