Twoply 0 #4 June 19, 2007 Slept on a tower for I dont even know how long once when I was up late and then doing a solo. Weird to wake up on a catwalk with a rig still packed. Not sure how good it was for radiation exposure but I ate at Denny's afterwards and I felt fine. Greasy omelettes are great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spiderbaby 0 #9 June 19, 2007 The Spiders from Mars used to say "you can sleep when you're dead" every time a whiner whined about fatigue. Dammit I miss those guys."It takes a big man to cry, it takes an even bigger man to make that big man cry" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spiderbaby 0 #11 June 20, 2007 Would love to hear more about the Pauly visit. Dr. Thrill and I climb most every weekend and could easily keep you entertained, in the manner in which you're accustomed, when you arrive."It takes a big man to cry, it takes an even bigger man to make that big man cry" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how good it was for radiation exposure but I ate at Denny's afterwards and I felt fine. Greasy omelettes are great! I once slept for at least 45 minutes on a tower, while lying down on a 3"-wide crossbeam that was on a 20-30 degree slope. I kept slowly sliding off of it and I'd semi-wake up just in time to catch myself and re-align the beam between my shoulderblades before falling back asleep. I was clipped into the beam with a monkey tail, but if I fell I wouldve definitely taken a nice 10-foot pendulum into the steel... ouch.

GreenMachine 0 #13 June 20, 2007 The orthopedic surgeon who re-built my right leg after a motorcycle crash did his residency in Arizona and treated many injured jumpers. He told me the most common statement made by his patients was: "I was real tired, but it was gonna be my last jump for the day".Rigger, Skydiver, BASE Jumper, Retired TM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrThrill 0 #14 June 20, 2007 460- You're movin on up . . to the front range . . . ? that would be very cool indeed. What happend with Rice? throw me a message I think you still have my e-mail? We could use a devoted and experienced tower jumper out here, plus I've got a couple other interesting objects that I can't pay "my friends" to do with me, but I know you're up for the good stuff. this week at least, its probably hotter out here than in Houston, though still a little dryer. kickback jack DT"If you are not a part of the Solution, you are a part of the Precipitate" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greeny 0 #15 June 21, 2007 Jumping a low E a few moths ago I did 7 in a day. I only went out to do one but the forecast wind never buit, how could I leave. The first 6 could not have gone better, but tied and dehydrated the 7th exit was uncommitted and gave me 90L into a very hard tallis landing. The whole thing was very much a chase of just getting one more in and being over confident from the previous 6 perfect jumps. Result badly bruised ribs and heals and 3 weeks of walking on my toes watching others jump. Greeny edited for spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
