I am surprised the Park Service would allow that. I guess the old "do it and ask forgiveness later" philosophy was used.

Insane....but looks like fun, if you're so inclined. Nice color too.

My hands sweat just watching that. I can't imagine!

[masraum]

looks like lots of fun!

[TheMentat]

Very cool... We used to do that on bridges when I was in high school, but that formation looks even better!

[svandamme]

Looks like a total blast.

i would wear a wingsuit for safety.

Do a search on rock climber Dan Osman. He pretty much pioneered this. Of course, it's also how he died...

[Rusty Heap]

link to Dan Osman?


Many people have died without a smile on thier face. I salute Dan and his sense of adventure.

I mean how many people have been killed rocking a vending machine because their bags of Doritos didn't fall.................and why are the fragile chips always on the top shelf of a vending machine?

such are lifes mysteries.

Awesome. making of the video was really interesting.

It's good to hear vanilla ice has found work!

Not sure that is smart to be taking swingers like that... Generally we try to avoid big swingers like that whilst climbing. That is HELL on gear, not to mention the high probability of bashing into the rocks with quite a bit of force.... It'd be hella fun until someone was paralyzed or dead from it....

2 ropes and 2 harnesses please. You know...one for backup.

[rusnak]

I find parts of the video really gay, like a soft drink commercial being consumer-tastically over the top.

I got the hand sweat thing happening too . If I did I, which I wouldn't anyway, I'd be the one person who threw up.

This was obviously at Arches National Park in Moab, UT. Cool video especially due to the fact that they would have been jailed if caught.
