    Outside of that all I can say at the moment is you might have something BIG if you can pull it of.... Good Luck....

    When the weather warms up we need to chat and do a little recon. I'd like to get them all in one big shot.



    Gosh mister security guy.... what do you mean it's against the rules to do a stunt rappel over the falls.... we didn't see any sign saying it was against the rules.... if we had of saw a sign we sure wouldn't have done it....

    It's much easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission....

    Me too me too!!!

    A few years back we got caught rappelling down the lobby in the cliff lodge. We'd done it several times before, and finally got caught. They didn't really do anything. It helped that we were staying there as guests for a climbing competition the next day.

    Also got caught climbing an ice/snow sculpture up at solitude one year...

    In the top picture where there are two waterfalls next to each other of equal height - maybe 10 feet back from the left one has a gate. I'm sure you could easily anchor into that one and go right off and follow the lagoon around and run up the hill and out to the getaway car. haha.

    A long time ago.... before wife and children.... we were always in trouble for doing something up at Snowbird.... You can't jump off the 5th floor with your ski's on.... this banquet is for guests only.... that ticket is expired.... you can't jump off the chair lift.... you can't tuck top to bottom.... you can't jump that.... you are supposed to pay for the beer.... that ticket doesn't work for the tram.... you are out of bounds.... you can't park there.... get out of the pool if you are not a guest.... where are your pants?

    Sheeesssshhhh....

    Never did get in any trouble outside of "don't do that again"....

    Dude, loose lips sink ships. And, yeah, I may be overly security sensitive.

    Honestly I thought about it before my original post

    Seems they would be little legal ramifications unless the getaway vehicles were bicycles!

    You should bring a cute blonde girl to help talk your way out of whatever ticket they might try to give you.

    Really? We weren't supposed to do that? I'm really sorry. We won't do it again, I promise...flutter-eyelashes.

    Iceaxe could just put a wig on with the white spedo and be able to flirt his way out of any tickets I'll bet!

    Hijack,

    My wife has been pulled over about 10 times in her life and has never received a stinkin speeding ticket. Got pulled over the other day in Kaysville 62 in a 40. She got off. When I get pulled over they want to haul me to jail. So maybe the first time just send several girls into poach the falls and see if they end up in cuffs?
