Feel free to drop me a line or two with your questions.

Well Dave,

I am glad you didn't show the opening ... uggg ... Damn those 90's and horse they rode in on.

I hope to jump there with you guys one day soon. I've seen some of your video and it's a nice location.

Eh, I want to know, Eh, the angle of the talus Eh??

(Did I sound like a genuine Canadian? Eh?)

Hey, eh!! Well Uncle-C you might pass, just drop the capital "E" off of the Eh. Then it's more subtle.....eh. SEE:)

Delays on the wall in the middle picture are in the 8 to 10 second range but with a suit (which is why your asking I think!??!) or even tracking pants could/should push you out past those cliff bands and away you go! It is roughly 3,600 vertical to the valley floor and the talus is roughly 45-50 degrees and you have roughly 1,200 of overhang to get flying. This area is only accessible after June 21 as it is a protected mountain goat breeding area. The + side is that jumping after that date is legal!

Edit: If you go to skydivingmovies.com and search for Jason Cooper, then download Rockies.mov. It is a good vid clip of this site plus a funny crash on my part!


L8R, eh

can't wait to see someone BM this!

Working on it. Well, that is, it will be Crossbow'ed, but close enough. I have a very good feeling that this is the summer.

Now I have 2 great reasons to visit Canada in June, eh!

2nd and 3rd pics make me want to ditch my family and base full time

Sweet pics,especially the middle one! have to make it up there this summer.

Nice pics, Dave. Makes me wish I was a few years younger....

Don't just wish you were younger--be younger. I know you've got the mindset to do that.
