jumperconway 0 #1 December 16, 2002 Man climbing William's Tower in Houston dressed in black outfit. He had climbed 20+ stories before leaping away from the tower to his death. He was approx 350' up the building. He did not have a B.A.S.E. rig on. Edit- he was not wearing Spidy outfit-sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jraf 0 #5 December 16, 2002 The idea of freeclimbing is not to jump off but to get to the top. A freeclimber will not wear a base rig (would not know what to do with it). Bad luck.

jumperconway 0 #7 December 16, 2002 Latest news; drivers license and a statement were in his shoe but still undisclosed. Watching it on TV he started climbing very fast. Some inside the building said that he appeared to have run out of strength and apparently was saying the Lords Prayer before launching himself some 30' away from the building Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumperconway 0 #16 December 16, 2002 Yea Dave, It was called the Transco bldg. in the Galleria area. The tallest building in the U.S. outside of a downtown area. You can see it well from Spaceland at altitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
