Re: [hookitt] BRRRR, Minnesota BASE
exit point is about 1000'. Although, we have taken one of those Sunto altimeter watchs up a couple of times and each time we get a higher altitude. The antenna seems to be growing Smile !

Oh yeah, about the Brrrr thing, that was actually a warm jump ~35...but we've flicked in sub-zero temps...not so bad when you are moving, but if you stop to rest, yuck.

The Suunto watches are only accurate if the temperature change on the climb is standard. But it is a very sweet tool to have. Its never more than 50 feet off at 1000 feet AGL. I also dig the vertical speed indicator. Try and keep it at 50 feet per minute for 1000 feet. Feel the burn. Who needs a health club membership?
