The equipment really improved over time. The dude’s in the wingsuits base jumping/flying absolutely fascinate me.

They closed El Capitan down for base jumping just as I was heading out there having just acquired my expert license (for that purpose.) Oh well...lots of great memories and over 2 hours of freefall in just under 300 jumps.

Yeah, the wing suits are very cool. A lot of those guys are dying, though. I think the best glide slope they can get is 2/1.
