This easter was more than just hanging out in the dirt and climbing. It was about having fun with friends, talking shit, drinking and participating in silly challenges. One such activity confronted a primative fear well associated with climbing; the fear of falling.
I've now done the Taipan Jump three times, and the thrill doesn't get that old. There's something about holding onto more than 40 meteres of slack rope while staring down one the wall's most iconic features, Serpentine. This is the perfect exercise for developing logic's power over gut feeling. You know ropes are designed with twice as much force considered and that the bolts will hold, but there's still that little butterfly dive bombing your weet-bix into submission.
This video was made with 6 guys and 3 point and shoot cameras, a green cape and some furry blue shorts. Enjoy.
