    Random question - so that means you know Treft then?! Treft grew up in my neighborhood.

    If you remember me and buddy met you as you were about to do Heaps as we were waiting in the backcountry line for mystery canyon permits.

    You're a Davis County kid? Treft is a great guy - one of the funniest people I know.

    And I remember meeting you at the permit window. About 18 hours later when half my crew had food poisoning and we still weren't through Heaps, I remember being jealous of wherever you guys were at the time because it definitely had to be better than where I was.

    Trust issues.
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    Glad this came up because I always get confused. Are you guys saying that if the girl changes her mind, its ok to do it anyway? I am confused.

    so where are all the tech Brian and Tom about the braking point of those ropes?
    usually bungy jumping they use special ropes, but in the video they look like normal statics ropes!!!!
    somebody mentioned Darwin?

    I'm thinking they are dynamic climbing ropes.

    FWIW: The first time I ever saw one of these arch rope swings was in 1998. They had one set up in Wild Horse Window in the San Rafael Swell where they were jumping off the top of the arch. That swing is mild by some of the big stuff I'm seeing lately, but I thought it was pretty cool when I first saw it.

    I dimly recall seeing a video of Catherine Destivelle on a rope swing on I think Wilson Arch south of Moab probably from the late 80's.
