Yeah it's also almost all large loose boulders on the sides in that area so even if you got close enough to the sides it would still be hard and painful to try and grab something to climb out.The Boulder Creek Path runs right along the creek in that spot so I wouldn't be surprised if some runners/bikers saw the whole thing go down. Very sad.Quote:

Any sites by Green Mountain/Lakewood area that are good for intermeds?
2 spots in Fort Collins:
Gateway Park has a 40+ ft jump into the river, it's 15 ft deep at that point.
At Vine and Shields there's a spot to jump 20ft into the river from the bridge, and another to climb a tree and jump 20ft into the river.

there is some good spots on horsetooth res in foco. north end if i remember correctly. although the last year i was there the water wasn't quite high enough.
i found a good spot a few years ago but haven't returned since this jump. its already mentioned and pictured earlier in this thread, looks bigger from this angle and with a human for perspective

up on the poudre where 14 goes through the rock tunnel you can climb up and jump in. there is a 20 or so, a 40 or so, and a much higher one. the highest one is downright retarded because its around 60 something feet and you cant even see the water plus youre landing in about a 15' wide area.
Yep, sounds like a great spot to see Darwin's theory in action.Quote:

I write an outdoor sports feature for a monthly publication based in New Orleans, Louisiana called Health & Fitness magazine. I've been assigned to write a feature this month on Cliff Jumping, and as I'm not a cliff jumper myself, I'm looking to talk (or email) with people who have knowledge and experience in the sport to help me learn more about opportunities around the U.S. and abroad. I'd also like to hear about the various techniques and what it feels like.
If you may have a few minutes to help me, please send me an email at the address listed below. Thanks in advance for any help.

anyone jump at green mountain reservoir recently?
never been up there but i'm thinking about going up next week.
jump bump
I haven't been since I broke my back there last August. I was thinking of checking it out soon, though. So a tip to all jumpers: be sure to keep your body rigid when hitting the water. 50 foot swan dives can fuck you up.
I heard green mountain was filled up, and people were jumping last weekend. I'm sure the water is freezing, though.
bump for new recon in eagle county, regarding chicks in bikinis and jump spots?
you only need 7 ft of water to do 15 -20 ft dives :) you'll find somethin' ,just curl hard when you hit the water
