Danno Getting Really High!
Another great line off the boat! With a boulder problem right off the water (which I cheated standing on the boat rail), and then really easy climbing to the top, I was loving every minute of it! I ended up jumping off the upper ledge. Using both the frame rate on my computer and a printed image (with an engineering scale), I estimated the plunge to be about 65 feet. Man....it was scary!

Oh, sweet! That's one of the shots I took. Came out great. Damn... that's freaking high. Haha!

I used an ENGR scale to measure the height (assuming my height to be 5') and comfirmed with x = 0.5at^2, about 65 feet from where I jumped. It wasn't really bad either.
lol... an awkward landing at that height would hurt

Funny, I was at summersville a few weeks ago, jumped off a 20 footer. My leg twisted awkwardly when I hit the water. Suffered a severe groin strain and had to flag down a boat to get out . (I couldn't walk at all). I can't imagine what 65 feet would feel like.

Great stuff fella's!!! Now I wish we had gone and done that when we were up there in May. I've jumped off a 23m ledge into water with hiking boots and clothes on and even that still hurt. Can't imagine it in swimmers and climbing shoes.
