Hucking on Baffin Island
This is an oldie but goody. If B.A.S.E. jumping had cult classics, this would be one of them.
This is one of my favorite pictures from our BASE jumping trip to Baffin Island. We called this rock Ottawa Peak, it was 4390ft higher than the frozen ocean landing area. The picture was taken by our climbing guide Mike Libecki. The jumpers are Shane McConkey, Miles Daisher, Mike Vail, and Charles Bryan. I hope to go back to Baffin some day.

Shane McConkey 1969-2009
How do you sum up a human who spent his life leaving everybody speechless?
Today March 26th, 2009 skiing lost an ambassador, B.A.S.E. jumping an
innovator, the world a jester, and we all lost a friend.
The great thing about Shane was that you knew his personality, even if you
didn’t meet him in person. You could watch a video of [...]
