Unofficial event in Dark Canyon, Kemaliye...
Hi there, This year, we can't organize any official event in Dark Canyon, Kemaliye. But people in Kemaliye want to organize a small commemoration event for our friend Ian Flanders who we lost there last year. They already prepared 3 steel plate with Ian's picture engraved on them and they ll place them 3 different spots in Kemaliye to show their respect. There is vimeo link of the last event at the end of this thread for those who knows nothing about Dark Canyon Cable Boogie. So if any one of you wants to join us, these are the things you should know in advance.
Dates for the unofficial event 17th - 21st of July
1. There are 2 exit points. One cliff with ramp and one cable over Dark Canyon which is 340 meters.
2. Wingsuit base from the ramp is possible only if you are highly experienced wingsuit Base Jumper. So before you plan to jump it with wingsuit, you either have to name somebody as a reference, or i need to know you already.
3. Normally everything used to be paid by organisation before but this year, it is going to be unofficial. Flights and transfers will not be paid. Accommodation and food is free for 5 days and i am sure you ll definitely love local food there.
4. One jump from the cable is guaranteed per day but the second is always a question. Ramp jump is mostly possible at early early morning and hiking takes like 2 hours.
5. The last thing i should point is the landing for the cable. It is small and sketchy but water landing is always an option.
So shoot me an email as soon as yo make your mind.
