Monster Patagonia Sale

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) - Patagonia are having a ‘monster sale’ from Thursday the 8th of May till Sunday the 11th of May. The strange thing is that it’s in a completely separate location. It will be held in Filmbase, Curved st, Temple Bar, Dublin. I’m not totally sure why they are having the sale. The only reason i could think of was because maybe they are trying to get rid of all their winter stock from this year.

Opening Hours:

Thursday 8th: 9.30am-8.00pm
Friday 9th: 9.30am-5.30pm
Saturday 10th: 9.30am-5.30pm
Sunday 11th: 11.00am- 5.30pm

First BASE Jump Off Cerro Torre

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Geared Up Blog) News has come through that Valery Rozov has jumped off just below the summit of Cerro Torre. We reported 2 years ago the he was also the first person to jump off Grandes Jorasses. The team will be reclimbing the moutain in the coming days to see if it is possible to jump from the summit!

MountEverest.net:

And this week a message arrived from the climbers that Valery had jumped Cerro on Monday, 9 am local time. The point of jump was located a bit below the “Compressor” route traverse. The flight lasted 1 minute and 20 seconds with an altitude difference of about 1450 meters.

Valery said he opened a bit higher than planned, was caught by a gust and flew and and down for 15 minutes in the last 200 meters before finally and fortunately hitting ground.

Due to bad weather and falling ice the team didn’t reach the summit and will therefore make a second attempt during a forecasted weather window March 3-5, to see if conditions have improved and whether it would be possible to jump from the top.
