what means the number after BASE ?

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I have no idea of base jumping and I'd like to know what means the number that is posted after the word "BASE". Like BASE293 for example.
thanks

lower # = more grumphy..

Extract: "Anyone who accomplishes a jump is recorded in a notebook. When they complete one jump of each type, they are assigned a BASE number in sequence of the people who have completed all four types before."

Although that's a reasonable summary, it should be noted that you must apply for a number--it's not just given to everyone--making this an entirely voluntary process.
