GreenMachine 0 #3 February 23, 2007 Congrats on the movie gig POCBASE. I visited your town years ago --- amazing place! But this was long before I ever found jumping. Curious if that E has any over-hung areas? Also, do you know of anyone flicking the "Was-way" B downtown?Rigger, Skydiver, BASE Jumper, Retired TM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pocbase 0 #4 February 23, 2007 Hi Tom That E has a few exit points, all pretty gnarly jumps as far as the freefall part but nice long canopy rides after; sunset jumps are simply surreal. That mountain ahs had a fair share of cliff strikes. The B's in town don't get jumped much; in fact, on occasion for movie and advert shoots. I don't worry too much for them and don't even have my B; with a normal job starting at 8, I can get up, go to my favorite cliff, and get back home before 7:30 in the morning. I am a bit of a hippie and am not too much into the whole stealth trespassing ninja stuff;The bums will never win Lebowski, the bums will never win!

NickDG 23 #9 February 23, 2007 Hey Dan, Other's want the same opportunity you had, and if you're the same Dan I'm thinking of, we helped you out when you visited. There's a lot of people who jump in that town, so chill out on the names thing please . . . And Sinister, your location is in your profile, so you're not doing us any favors either . . . Come on, guys, can't you use your heads just a little bit! NickD BASE 194 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dglangstraat 0 #10 February 25, 2007 Nick, my bad. I hadn't thought that naming the city would be like naming the site, but when coupled with the photo I definately screwed the pooch. I guess now I can't edit the post since it's been more that 6 hours? Tom A, could you please edit or delete my previous post? Thanks much. By the way Nick, thanks so much for the help back then.

pocbase 0 #12 February 25, 2007 Got 1 in on my day off Early this morning, first solo in months. Woke up at 4 and just couldn't get back to sleep so got my gear together and drove to my favorite spot. There is something magic about that place and being there so early in the morning. 82 jumps off that object and still not getting bored of it...The bums will never win Lebowski, the bums will never win!

Skydawg 0 #14 March 1, 2007 Hi Patrick, Have you jumped the exit above “Jacob’s Ladder”, 12 secs if you track a bit. Also, check out “Exposure in F major” on the way to Worcester ask one of the climbers at Camp and climb in Claremont for details if you don’t know them, there are literally hundreds of exits in the Hex river range, the wall at the start of the old pass is an old favouriteCheers, Mike.

pocbase 0 #15 March 2, 2007 Seems like you know your way around here. Do you still jump? I used to jump TM quite a lot from the lookout but I have not yet jumped the go and throw... Hmmmm Hex river. Some nice spots down that way. The farmer won't let us park our cars on the land anymore and you have about a 6 hour hike from the road to get to the base camp... I miss it, that's REAL BASE jumping.The bums will never win Lebowski, the bums will never win! Enfin j'ai trouvé: Bieeeen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
