More "Moab Trip - The People"
I was part of the group that comprised "Moab Trip - The People" so hopefully this will be okay to post here. With respect to people, I thought this was an interesting activity out at Moab. We saw this guy's buddy parachute off a cliff just minutes before this guy did so had the camera ready to go when he jumped.
Here he is just as his chute is deploying.
Here is the cliff he and his buddy jumped off - the black arrow indicates their "launch" point. They were both down in a couple of minutes. We met them down at the bottom next to the trail (Cliffhanger), and chatted to them briefly. If I remember correctly (GA guys help me here), they had spent the whole previous day climbing and positioning their gear for the jump, then spent the entire morning (several hours) climbing back up to the top in order to make the jump. When we saw them, they were headed back up to collect all their climbing gear. I may be mistaken about the morning climb as they may have spent the night up on top - can't remember. I do know that they said the only way to the top was by climbing, and I'm not talking about hiking up a trial, but scaling the cliff using ropes, biners, harnesses, nuts, hexes, tricams, etc.
