Everyone arrived on Friday and met up at the hotel. Jumpers awoke to white out winter conditions on Saturday and did what they had to with the time on their hands staring at a helicopter.
Sunday the weather broke to pristine conditions with everyone making five jumps each. The group worked up to a few three ways but it was obvious everyone need more time and jumps at the site to go bigger.
Late in the day there was a wall strike by a team member. Often considered a right of passage by BASE jumpers, a wall strike on a new cliff commands the respect from all individuals who might be complacent. Muscling it in like a man only a toe and elbow injury was the end result.
Monday morning brought freezing temps and snow flurries so the group packed it in after breaking the injured team member out of the hospital.
Another trip is scheduled for April, so keep your ears open right here for more info.
