skyjules 0 #1 July 16, 2004 I'm learning how to rock climb, for the purpose of base jumping. I live in the niagara region. Is there anyone in this area that's interested in this kind of rush.***Free bird Forever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiderbaby 0 #2 July 16, 2004 Yes darlin, I live in Boulder Colorado, have been climbing HARD for 22 years and started BASE jumping in 97'. Climbing and BASE are two great tastes that taste great together. I hate to say it, but rock gyms are a great place to meet other climbers in yer area and stay strong in the crappy months. (The gym in yer area is the Niagra Climbing Center-(716)695-1248 or www.niagraclimbingcenter.com). Many great climb and jump possibilities are available in the Moab area and elswhere. And I haven't been to Europe, but I think general climbing skills are learned and used by way more Euros than Americans. Being able to appreciate the rock as a whole, the ascent as well as the descent is a very worthy goal indeed. All I hear about is, I wanna wingsuit, I wanna wingsuit. You have a unique angle. As a climber 1st, BASE jumper 2nd kinda guy, yer post got me jazzed. E-Mail me in private and I'll tell you some secrets that will motivate you even more. Best of luck!!!!

jonstark 8 #3 July 17, 2004 The reason I got back into BASE after an 18 year layoff was that I had started to climb in Yo. After a couple of ascents of the big stone I just had to get my E. Well said about two tastes that taste great together. Want the CO jewel too someday but went and got soft. jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
