BASE Jump

Latest comment: 19 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There seems to be no clear distinction between two possible meanings of "highest BASE jump", one being "highest starting elevation" and the other being "largest difference between starting and landing elevations." In the first interpretation, the new Meru base jump beats the Trango one. But the second is also interesting, and I can't tell from what I see so far whether the new one beats Trango. -- Spireguy 18:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

For those of you who are considering looking this place up on google earth:

Don't try. Their rendition of the area doesn't do the towers nearly enough justice. Alphabetagamma 03:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

True, Google Earth is not based on accurate data for many rugged mountain areas outside the US, and this is one of the most extreme examples. -- Spireguy 03:51, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
