The JUMPER

One summer in  the Cannon River in Algonquin Park I noticed a well equipped young man climbing the perpendicular rock face.  I beached my canoe on the opposite side and got my camera ready, expecting something interesting to happen. I knew that even if he would fall, he would not get hurt since he would hit deep water and all he'd have to do was swim to my side of the river and he'd be safe.
So these are the pix I got this day:








You may wonder what he did with his clothing and climbing gear:
Very simple: He put everything in a plastic bag with a float
tossed it down ahead of himself and then jumped.
What an adventure. I would have liked to jump, but not to climb this vertical rock face.
