Overhung Cliffs on 14ers/13ers

Lizard Head is in Wilderness.

All I could think of with 60m is rappel, set an anchor, pull rope, repeat.

On an overhang?

If law enforcement actually dragged their a**** up to arrest a jumper, I would be surprised.

If you get up Lizard Head yourself, you have my respect. I'll leave it at that.

Have you also considered Roan Plateau cliffs near Rifle? They don't fit the description of being a 13er/14er, but I believe you can jump legally there.

Again, not vertical, but Uncompahgre has 4 very tight 200' contours. Most of 800' it looks to me. Not my photo...but it looks like a good diving board.

So I'm assuming youre not interested in Uncompahgre since it already has at least one "first descent"? The video was floating around on facebook a few months back.

There are three kinds of base-jumpers.

1. Those who were killed doing it.

2. Those who will be killed doing it.

3. Those who know someone who was killed doing it.

Good luck.

That looks very promising actually..

Someone's jumped that? I'm not just looking to open exits, I'm interested in combining jumping with my passion for Colorado's wild peaks.

Thanks Mom, I'll play safe.

The basins around there are surprisingly grassy and low angle. And there are good viewing areas for camera work, some in profile.

I'll look forward to seeing something on this.

Good luck, and be safe.

The east side of Handies, and the ridge connected to it going further east? Not certain it would go like the Diamond on Longs, but it looks legit to me.

I've always wondered if the Diving Board on Pyramid Peak would go as a base jump. Finding a good landing area would be extremely difficult though.
