In a heartbeat!
Only way if I was fighting for my life or my kids life well maybe the wife too LOL
Didn't anyone notice the critter running around the side of the mtn as they were being pulled back up?

I was wondering what the critter was myself???
Was that at ~5:34ish? If so I think it was part of the harness that they are in. My screen was fuzzy for most of the video. I guess after 10 years or so with the same puter it might be time to upgrade.Originally Posted by cbrick
At first I thought they were on a zip line. The swing looks to be pretty interesting. I suppose I would go for it if someone else was paying for it and I don't mean my wife.

As to the original question: No.
Saw a similar (sort of) rig set up in Kiev to let you slide across the Dneiper River
from the bluff above, maybe 3/8 mile and 300-500 ft above the river. Looked a bit and
then decided, no way.
Same thing for this one.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
I would pay to do that. I would pay to do that twice. I'm 63 and I would pay to do that.

My amendment can beat up your amendment.
I am 75 and darn right WOW!

At one time I would have and equipment has gotten better sense I was their age. I have little fear of heights, too busy enjoying the view. That girl on the crew is kinda cute and seems to be absolutely fearless, I like that in a woman.

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
No chance. That's way above the top end of my pucker-factor scale.
I have done many things in my 78 years where that would not even compare as risky.
At this point I am happy to just sit back and enjoy watching others have the thrill of a lifetime.

I don't think I would want to try that, even though I took part in a McGuire rig exercise once while in the National Guard. It's a maneuver designed to extract a team from a location where a chopper cannot land. They drop 4 ropes, you hook up and they pick you straight up and as soon as you clear any obstacles, they commence their forward flight until they reach an area where they can land, and you can board the chopper. Finding yourself 700 ft off the ground, and the only thing between you and the ground are the soles of your boots and the bottom of your socks can be a bit unnerving. All in all it was a slow and smooth maneuver.
H*** no.....
Up to a few years ago this would have been something I could have done. Not anymore.
Son just told me he was going to do a tech. climb of Grand Teton next year with his wife ( for her 40th). Being young has merit.
Whatever!
