But after about six months it sort of leveled itself out, and now I find Ive been, yeah, really lucky.On your blog, you talk about BASE-soloing.What is BASE-soloing, and how did you get into it?BASE-soloing is rock replica Gucci watch climbing with only your parachute as your safety system.I grew up climbing in the Blue Mountains in Australia, and I got into BASE jumping because I wanted to make use of the awesome environment.When youre climbing up a cliff, youll at some stage come to thinking that you want to jump off of it.
I was able to combine those interests: do a rock climb in the Blue Mountains without a rope, with just a parachute.And when I got to the top I jumped off and floated replica watch gift back down to the ground.If you were to fall off partway up, how useful do you think that parachute would be?Well, the funny thing about BASE-soloing in the Blue Mountains is nothings really high enough to warrant doing it safely.If you fell, the likelihood of your parachute opening up and catching you, and not you hit the cliff, or rocks, or a ledge, is minimal.Its really just kind of a novelty.In Europe, you could do it.
You can climb these 3000-foot cliffs safely, with a parchute on your back, and if you fall off, you can just track away.In the Blue Mountains, its just stupid.But its really fun.Are there other people doing BASE-soloing? Ive only ever heard of you and one other climber, Dean Potter, doing it.Yeah, basically Ive just heard of Dean Potter doing it.I dont know of any other people who do.No one would BASE-solo unless they were replica Longines watch already kind of a solo climber, because you have the same mindframe.Thats what I like, and there arent many people who like soloing, theyre few and far between.So to find someone whos a solo climber and likes BASE jumping is quite a narrow margin.You do a lot of dangerous things.Have you ever had any close calls?Yeah, definitely.
