JaapSuter 0 #3 October 22, 2005 This is awesome stuff guys. Thanks for sharing the link to the movie! Is this what BASE was 20 years ago? Figuring things out along the way? What rope manufacturer is going to offer a FRJC first? And will we see www.ropejumpfatalities.info in a few years? Is Dan Osman the Carl Boenish of this new sport? Whatever happens, it's great to see inventive minds coming up with new and creative ways to have fun in the backcountry. Keep the movies coming. Hopefully one day I'll get to do a jump of my own...

MB38 0 #4 October 22, 2005 Didn't somebody do a rope jump off of angel falls [or some comparable E] and go in on the second try? He survived the first jump and made the world record, but tried it the next day [with the rope hanging from the day before], only to have the rope snap.I really don't know what I'm talking about.

bertusgeert 1 #8 October 22, 2005 Badass, it is good to see the development taking place. Two questions... That is not what a GriGri is made for. Is the forces taken by the Gri Gri? It has to be, the Grigri is the first element in the line off the rope. What is in their backpack and does this influence the jump, looks pretty bulky. Water for the hike out? Once again, Badass.. how much is a plane ticket to moab? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DexterBase 1 #18 October 23, 2005 I've done some fairly massive rope jumps. If you ever have the chance to experience one you'll notice two things: 1.) Freefall has never felt more intense. For some reason, I get way more amped in freefall than on most BASE jumps. 2.) The catch at the end of the jump is way softer than you imagined it would be. You have to consider that when you take a lead fall in the climbing gym, you are stopped abruptly because there is only about 30 feet of rope total over which the energy of your fall is distributed. On a rope jump, you have much more energy to absorb because you've been falling for longer, but the entire rope jumping rig is designed to absorb and redistribute the energy of the jump. The setup in the video is one where not only do you have all the jump line absorbing the impact forces, but that jumpline is attached to a dynamic tyrolean which is basically a massive shock absorber. I've done over 500 feet on a single 10.2mm climbing rope. This was anchored to a steel bridge girder with no tyrolean to assist in absorbing the energy. The softness of the catch was very suprising. I chatted with Dano about whether there was a better option than the GriGri since it seemed like it was spreading the load over a very small portion of the jumpline. He was convinced that it would be okay. I also have to take a moment to warn people from trying to re-create this type of jump on their own. I used to rope jump in the NorCal area with Dano, Kirk Arens, and a bunch of other guys. Pretty much every weekend and on some weeknights we'd close down the climbing gym, load the gear into our cars, and would drive off to one of several very nice spots and jump all night. We helped build the rigs we were jumping on. Dano watched what we were doing and approved, even jumping our rigs himself. Dano knew what he was doing. Kirk knew what he was doing. I left for bootcamp on October 3rd, 1998. Towards the end of bootcamp, I received a letter (because I wasn't allowed to have phonecalls) with some bad news. On the day before Thanksgiving, Kirk died making a rope jump in Auburn California. Eight days later, Dano was also dead from a rope jumping incident. Two guys who knew what was up. edit:typos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Twoply 0 #19 October 23, 2005 Man, that is spooky looking. I don't know if I could do that. I'd have to carry an extra loincloth, just in case. Not wearing a rig and jumping's gotta be a bit uncomfortable at first. Kinda like catching Dad wearing mom's clothes the first time.
