It is pretty clear that you cannot BASE jump in Yosemite. It is not clear that you cannot rope jump. There is a regularly rigged 100 foot rope swing off the top of El Capitan and and rope swing at the bottom. Other than those 2 lines, rope jumping almost never happens in the valley so that's why it doesn't have more clear rules. The Rostrum line we did went viral and I got no backlash for it. We might do 1 other rope jump in the future but it is so rare anyone does it or that I do it that it really isn't a concern for the park.

sorry hit return too soon...I'm sure this question has been asked before but I've not read up on it. What is the National Park Service position on "Rope Jumping"? I am aware that the NPS has a "no jumping of cliffs" mandate so not sure it applies to you. By the way, the more I view your channel, the more I believe your "HowNOTtoHighline" raises awareness of the need for safety in the sport.
