39. Erzincan – Kemaliye (Eğin) International Culture and Outdoor sports festival
39. Erzincan – Kemaliye (Eğin) International Culture and Outdoor sports festival will be held on 22 - 25 June 2018. So if you are solid base jumper and want to join us next year, these are the things that will possibly attract your interest. Even we have 2 exit points for now, We plan to have more for the next year. What we currently have is a cable for slider up jumps and a ramp for wingsuit base jumps.
For Base jumpers who want to join us for the cable boogie;
- Transfers from / to airport and accommodation including food,
For Wingsuit Base jumpers skilled enough for some short starts;
- Flights from / to Europe, transfers from / to airport and accommodation including food will be provided by Kemaliye.
Even the official event dates for "Base Jumpers" are from 22nd to 25th, that will be from 15th to 25th for Wingsuiters. The reason for this arrangement is that Cable is a forgiving object even we have windy days but that is not same for wingsuit jumps. This is also the reason that we couldn't do any wingsuit jumps this year. So we decided to have one week margin to jump more. Getting together a week early in Kemaliye will also give us a huge chance to open some new wingsuit base exits.
and some more information;
1. There are 2 exit points. One wingsuit exit named "Gate to Eden" (cliff with ramp) and one cable over Dark Canyon named "Sirat on Firat" which is 340 meters.
2. Wingsuit base from the Gate to Eden 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. One jump from the cable is guaranteed per day but the second is always a question. Wingsuit jumps are mostly possible at early early morning and hiking used to take like 2 hours. Now via ferrata to the exit point is almost under construction, so it will be easier and more fun.
4. The last thing i should point is the landing for the cable. It is small and sketchy but water landing is always an option.
Since the dates are solid from today,feel free to shoot and email to Aytül aytul_erdal@hotmail.com
Shine on.
