Leaping from Half Dome is illegal, but in Yosemite the sport of BASE jumping is soaring in popularity anyway. Climbers say it’s faster (and more fun) to parachute into the valley than to hike all the way down the back of the mountain.
… seems Dean Potter forgot his parachute on this free climb.

Daring. Defiant. Free
A new generation of superclimbers is pushing the limits in Yosemite.

Incredible pictures. My stomach turns just looking at them.
Some people say Dean is the best in the world at the new sport of “FreeBASE”. That’s true … because he is the only person in the world who can do it!
The effect on me watching Dean FreeBASE is stronger than watching kids downhill Longboard: there is not the tiniest inkling to try it myself.
