Colorado Canyon Rock Drop?
hey guys, I need two things! please?

I need the verticle (i mean VERTICLE, no push out/jump) from Colorado canyon exit point, and also the distance to impact with a terrible track.

AND the GPS coordinates of the exit? (PM)

Re: [Calvin19] Colorado Canyon Rock Drop?
"The Colorado Canyon Exit point"? I know of at least 7 exit points that have been jumped in the little colorado river canyon if that's what you mean?

I suspect you are refering to the LC exits where Apex had the event in early May? I did many rock drops from the three exit points we jumped and they averaged about 10 seconds straight down from what they call the arrow to 8+ sec. off "the bowl" to the jumper's right. The far left exit was similar to the bowl exit. These drops were increased by 1-2 seconds with increasingly vigorous tosses out from the exits.

I have no idea what you mean by "distance to impact with a terrible track"? but to me a terrible track is falling like a rock, therefore with a push off and a rock-like track you'd have 9+ - 11+ seconds till impact which would give you distances of approximately 1000' to approaching 1400' depending on the exit, exit trajectory, push off and maybe 100 more variables.

Ask Apex for gps coordinates, You should be able to find out all you want re distanbces with them and google earth.
