[at-l] Getting down just a little bit faster...

[Marsha Lee]

Hey RD - thanks for posting that clip.

Salomon Sports makes that webbed suit....first shown in an independent clip in the 05/06 Banff Mountain Film Festival. Several men flew around Mt. Fiji in the same suits. Awesome. (I have 2 of their packs BTW)

That clip was quite stimulating! WOW
