It's been done,

But some new faces would be sweet. I jumped there 5 years ago. The jumps are sweet, just get in touch with the locals. They are good people.

Cya.

I figured it had. I'm just having a hard time finding the locals. Seems a lot of people have been there but moved on.

If it's close to STF then it's no beginner jump and requires rigging up an SL using an anchor/tree/whatever. Laser said 130ft to first ledge, I was kicking tree tops and even a slight off heading could get ugly. Slightly positive too, it's just fucking ugly and I call it a novelty jump.

A well respected jumper now in Dubai about sheared his legs off there too. That's why I never took anyone there myself and only jumped it once myself, it's pretty damn full on. ATL has two old schoolers who keep themselves to themselves and the others just dont have the experience.

Thank you very much for the follow-up.

Likely not worth my time then.

Hoppy New Year!

There is also a 240 foot cliff near downtown Atlanta. My friend's have jumped it.

Re: [PikeyBASE] E in Atlanta?
Definitely not interested in the first one then. Sounds a bit on the sketchy side. Maybe the 240 footer though.. Could you PM me?
