Rappelling, Rope Swings

wish MIKE would call me when you guys do this! id be down for moral support like he does :slight_smile:

FUCK THOSE BEES!

This pic is from the photoshoot today. I think the building is 25 stories tall or around there:

I don’t think you can get to the top of it.

Sure you can, just borrow the suction cups josh bought this weekend.

Railroad bridge at Letchworth.

sooooo… going to set up a bridge swing tonight. I think it’s going to be pretty insane… If you have some basic rope skills and want to join, let me know…

Text me. I’d like to come for moral support and learning.

I can’t promise that we won’t get booted, as we’re doing it on a bridge that’s part of a fairly large thoroughfare, but that adds to the fun. What that means, though… is there can’t be much milling about on the bridge itself…

That’s fine. I’d bring the camera for shits. Up to you, though. I wouldn’t want to make a production out of it, just be there to watch.

you’re more than welcome to come.

Saw some people rappel off the RR bridge in Springville back in 2003

So check this out. We set up a pretty badass rope swing out in eden… took about an hour or two to rig it, but once it was setup it ruled!

This was the main rappel rope and swing safety… The swing rope was tied underneath:

Setting the swing anchors… I’m underneath the bridge at the center. Gives a good idea how high it is…
