Ive free climbed bfore while high but the real thrill is slack jumping...its pretty damn scary and dangerous. its where you get a bit of slack in your rope and jump off the edge and free fall till the slack is gone.. Pretty Crazy

sounds kinda like rappeling to me...u put ur hand out to ur side n jump off the rock or wall and and slide down the rope untill u put ur arm back n stop urself or hit the wall or rock again...that is also scary while ur high but fun as hell lol

I'll boulder high, but I find it makes me lazy and saps my endurance for longer climbs, or anything where I care to be tied in. Just me.
But slackjumping... is retarded. If you're interested in that, please go do it under bridges or something and stay away from the climbing areas. My most local (and amazing) climbing spot got closed because a couple of kids cratered into the ground there while slackjumping, local parks and rec panicked, and closed the area to all techical rope climbing. Now we have to go guerrilla, not as chill.
Its only a matter of time before someone pulls too much rope, or before a dynamic rope has had one jump to many...

I use "kids" colloquially. They were both mid-20's, and actually fairly decent climbers, who just fell into the slackjumping habit. But I'm sure you're very proficient in falling off things.
Dude, your skull is your own to splatter where ever you see fit.
Just while doing so, try not to ruin it for the rest of us who enjoy the ascent as much as the fall. k?
Thats all I'm saying.

A kid that i went to school with also died that way but our town is surrounded by what we all call the rims... its just a perfect place to climb with over atleast 30 miles of rock...so we have these probs all the time
