Half Dome

Just curious, but what is the distance and vertical gain of that hike ?

I think to get an accurate answer you would have to go to your local grocery store and take a survey. Most people really don't understand what BASE jumping is (even when you explain it to them) and will give you their view according to their beliefs on skydiving.

Explanation on BASE -Calculated risks, part physicist
part meteorologist, part athlete , high level of awareness under stressfull situations.

Could you get me some Twinkies while your there , Thanks?

Nice diagram. Will the Ora blow during the summer under high pressure weather as well ?

Try to rent a 4WD (with insurance ) and stop by Slickrock Campground when you get into town. Matt the owner jumps and there's usually other jumpers there as well.

I said to the right, because having one riser group lower than the other equals a banked turn to that side.

I was thinking of taking out the Prodigy bottom half with the PF jacket. Did you take the bottom half out of a plane or off an object ( how high ) ? What angle would you say it flys at ?

Received email from Espen there are no more copies left of "Superterminal". They hoped the new copies would circulate from the ones sent out.
If anyone who received a copy would kindly burn one, I would pay for all expenses. Thank you, Mike

easily Potato , remember the bag of dogfood ?

It's called "Death Camp"
First you put the backpack on...

then you grab the yonkles...

it's just like driving a car

Is American Alpine Club membership sufficient rescue insurance for jumping in the Swiss Valley ? (Sorry for the slight off topic)

I've got the stealthy all black and love it.
-it always looks clean (you'll never have to wash it!)
-keeps you a little warmer in the winter
-great for NPS BASE
-makes me think I'm a big raven

Potash - delay
4 horseman - climb
Mineral B - canopy ride
Moab- one of the most beautiful places in the world

There is a poster out of Ueli G (I think) jumping the Swiss Fungus. No idea where to get a copy though. Also, Thomas Ulrich who shoots for Red Bull has a site www.thomasulrich.com

Tom, do you know what kind of toggles Slim was using at the time ?

Yo, who's gunna go ?
So we can know
How to flow
Wit the F111 packed like so
Off da Red Rocks, here we go.

(sorry, too much caffeine)

Yo Rick James , glad to hear your OK. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Any pics of the extraction /opening sequence ?

For your Hanwags try new insoles (Superfeet) and wear good socks (Smartwool) it makes a huge diff .

Would that be from a Class 1 , Class 2 or Class 3 hanglider ?

FJC at the Perrine ( where everyday is bridge day ).

Here's why I jump in 2 words
