    who has experiance jumping them? There are a couple I am looking at that are 250-300ft and would like input. One thing that I don't like is that they are not straight up and down, they start out wide then get really skinny at top. Of course these are outside climbs.

    I have lots of experience with these. They are under hung. With a good launch and corect winds, it is no problem. I suggest finding one with a platform on top. They can be a lot of fun. As for the outside clim, I perfer them. The climb is fast and if you are over 200', you have a fighting chance if you fall. I also like the ones with out a ladder. The kind that have the small triangles almost to the top then latas the rest of the way. If you are climbing the triangles, climb a leg that DOSN'T have the safety wire. This makes the climb much easier. Any thing else?

    I jumped a couple of 450' antennas. They "always" usually have a platform at the top and with a good exit there is no problem at all.
    One even has a plateform @200' with 4 arms stretching out allowing you to just "drop". Which is really comfy to adjust...
    The climbing is the hardest part. I assume you do know that if there is a ladder it's better if you put your rig on your chest to climb up.

    Enjoy!
