A guy on my ground crew who has a background
in climbing sent me this link... wow, holy shit.
The rope jumps look fun but honestly the fast
free climbing scenes got my palms sweaty.

Calvin19/Heckler, this guy one of your influences? Wink

hahaha... hell yeah. the year he died ('98) was my first year 'rope jumping'. I was 14 and they were short, but I knew nothing of anything (not too different from now) but it was a good start.

My problems with Dano's designs aside, he was an AMAZING athlete.

Impressive indeed.
Just funny how so many ropes can be mounted in a US NP while jumping is not allowed...

His activities were later deemed "An inappropriate use of the resource." and subsequently banned by the Nat'l Park Service.

I have spent a lot of money and hours to get specail use permits in several national parks. VERY difficult to deal with these people.
