Her dad told her to start making her way down
shortly after this:
Love these rocks, but from the road down below!

Looks like this happened November 24, 2013. Two of my kids and I walked along this road (Potash) a few days later a couple of days after Thanksgiving. Amazing views. We love going to Moab...usually go in the Fall when it's cooler and less people. I didn't make it last Fall, but decided spur of the moment to do it this year. Perfect weather, even though cool, there and back...surprising for this time of year so dry over the passes along 1-70. Thank goodness for us snow storm came in a few days later.
We didn't see any base jumpers while we were there, but did see quite a few rock climbers and even a family of them with a little girl climbing way up!
Amazingly this guy in video survived!
At 2:13 on video I can see some of the same rocks across the Colorado River that I snapped some pics of. Anyway, don't think I want to do base jumping in Moab or anywhere anytime soon, but pretty cool video. I wouldn't say that, though, if the outcome had been different.
Here's another video of a guy AFTER his base jump in Moab from October 2013. BIG TIME OWIES shown SO BE WARNED on this one.

"Palm Tree" coming out of the rocks:
See his nuts hit that large rectangular piece of rock sticking out just waiting for him ?
Mighta` survived but he`s probably a eunuch now
Hey he landed on his feet and walked away —
That person lived. Only 1 day hospital stay for compression fracture to a vertebra and numerous facial stitches.
Holy cow. That video was painful.
LOL—you gotta be a guy cause I certainly didn’t pick up on that!
Stupidity is a pre-existing condition, but Obamacare will cover it.
I love the Moab area. We lived there in 1955, and I was back at Dead Horse Point this year.
Ouch!
or Jewish.
LOL!
LOL—now that one is really painful. Probably no walking away from that sport.
Very neat! Had you been back since the 50s other than this year?
LOL...like how the crowd starts walking away immediately after. Not much to see after the tree falls.
Twice in the 1990s. In 1955 we also lived at La Sal. If you go through La Sal, look to the South. You will see a hill with a section cut out. My dad worked at a Uranium mine on the Rattlesnake Ranch.
Happiest time of my life at that ranch.
That was a guy? He had a better manicure than I’ve ever had!
lol...I’m assuming guy, but that may just be me being sexist. How could he not break a nail dragging fingers down all those rocks?
How nice. Did the La Sal loop one time. :) Such a beautiful area. Love Utah.
Oh man, That link to the second video where the guy sitting there with a mostly severed leg. Holy Crap that looks PAINFUL. I gotta give it to the guy for sittin there calm and cool.
