Still Under the Mattress . . . ?

[guest]

Now that we are in lockdown (I spent all last night fashioning a shive) I wonder, especially from Rick, and all other experienced BASE jumpers, how much of the, "BASE Number's List," if any, is appropriate to be made public?

I've been keeping track since about 1983 and have all the numbers and names up to about 450, and sporadically after that, including the original list Jean Boenish gave too me.

Since the advent of (legal mostly) BASE jumping has it made keeping the history of the "BASE Number's List" a secret, and is that secrecy important anymore? (There's been a web page that lists the first 200, or so, BASE numbers on the Net for years, coming out of somewhere in Europe).

However, there are many on the list with asterisks still next to their names, a sign of secrecy. And Jean said, "They, should forever, remain secret . . ."

I think the first thousand BASE jumpers, ever, need to be remembered, and I want to put them in the Book, (keeping the confidential ones, confidential)?

Too Early?

Aren't the #'s only to the high 700's?
