I'm guessing that a good quality wave could provide a similar sense of drama and view.
The thing that makes this video outstanding is how he framed his shots and kept his head still while shooting.
Awesome Gorgo. 10 minutes of peace and beauty. Thanks. ![]()
Very hard for me to understand the absolute enormity of the place when the highest i have been is atop Bluff Knoll. I have not even seen or felt snow.
I should get out more![]()

That captures the essence of why I am so fascinated by paragliding. Absolutley spectacular.![]()
Something that has always fascinated me when I see cable cars going to the top of precipices like that is how the **** do they get the building materials and cable up there in the first place?
And that walking along the snow ridge, bit too much for my vertigo![]()
Definitely big helicopter, there are some monsters around now. I have seen a heli pulling cables before looked impressive, but you have to think what would happen if everything went wrong. A heli coming down on to a heap of workers would make quite a mess.![]()
I found that really horrible to watch as well. How do you build somthing like that??
Much repect to those guys. At the end the guy said that there is no quick way down?? Wrong.
Major stones on those guys!!! I'm thinking the helmet's sole purpose is to help ID the body if he falls; certainly wouldn't prevent injury![]()
It just got worse and worse as he went up and I saw him put that hook over points that were not enclosed and it made my feet feel fuzzy. Bwbwbwbwbwbw.
The guy and his mate have to be base jumpers and para gliders in their spare time.
No sane person would do that without a parachute.
Maybe that is the way they get their jollies off after the maintenance. Base jump off and para glide down.
Legal and paid "Base Jumping"????
It needs to be put in context though. If those guys DO wear parachutes, it is safer for them to do that than it is for me to go up the 40 ft mast on my yacht.
If I fall from there it is splat.
Those guys have options as there is a lot of air between them and the ground.
No apology needed GD.
I could have exited the video anytime but it had me facinated.![]()
