Can't say I've heard of anyone getting up Cannon or Wildcat this way...

Pretty cool, anybody have an idea what is leashed on his left hand in the big picture?

He also had a tram car "escorting" him up. I wonder if that meant more or less cable movement (wind) than if it wasn't there?

And I thought the guy who went up Cannon riding on the very top of the tram car (above the cable) in midwinter was crazy!

It looks like a heart rate monitor, but I suspect he's wearing a parachute under his shirt, and that is the trigger.

ha, probably not high enough for the parachute.. But if you look at the video, he does have something underneath his shirt on his back.. Cause you can see something sticking out underneath it in the video and that cable probably runs up his left sleeve to whatever it is...
