SabreDave 0 #7 May 10, 2005 QuoteEh, I want to know, Eh, the angle of the talus Eh?? (Did I sound like a genuine Canadian? Eh?) Hey, eh!! Well Uncle-C you might pass, just drop the capital "E" off of the Eh. Then it's more subtle.....eh. SEE:) Delays on the wall in the middle picture are in the 8 to 10 second range but with a suit (which is why your asking I think!??!) or even tracking pants could/should push you out past those cliff bands and away you go! It is roughly 3,600 vertical to the valley floor and the talus is roughly 45-50 degrees and you have roughly 1,200 of overhang to get flying. This area is only accessible after June 21 as it is a protected mountain goat breeding area. The + side is that jumping after that date is legal! Edit: If you go to skydivingmovies.com and search for Jason Cooper, then download Rockies.mov. It is a good vid clip of this site plus a funny crash on my part!

skypuppy 1 #13 May 12, 2005 Nice pics, Dave. Makes me wish I was a few years younger....If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.
