The future of climbing? (gulp!) Or, am I just late to the party?

saw this a few weeks ago.. the set up time, logistics, cost, experience needed so you don't get dead, perfect bottom conditions to make it work. it's not the future

Looks like fun, but the set-up is a bitch.

You hope whoever sets up the net is very competent... and we thought quarter inch bolts were scary to trust!

Matt's an expert rigger. Check out his video of slacklining across the gap between two of the Chief's summits. In fact, I believe they set up the line and let any one try after signing a waiver.

That looks really fun, Where can I get me a circus Net?!

This gave me an even better idea! I'm going to buy a trampoline so that, when I fall, I bounce back up and can keep working the project.

I jumped of a set of monkey bars onto a trampoline in elementary school. I ended up bouncing flat assed onto the grass.

Better yet, get one of those stunt-person-fall-off-skyscraper-gigantic-air-pads, then we'll never need rope or pro again! jk;)

Looks fun!
