Charles Winstead was scaling the 3,000-foot granite wall of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley this week when an unfamiliar flapping sound erupted overhead and startled him. BASE jumping, the sport of leaping from fixed objects like buildings or cliffs and then parachuting to the ground, was pioneered in Yosemite National Park in the 1970s.

On October 22, 1999, 60-year-old expert parachutist Jan Davis took part in a protest jump from Yosemite’s El Capitan—breaking National Park rules banning BASE jumping. She used borrowed gear to avoid confiscation of her own, but the ripcord was in an unfamiliar position. Mid-fall, she reached for her usual spot—but it wasn’t there. After a 20-second plunge, she struck the rocks below as her husband watched in horror. Known as the First Lady of Angel Falls, Jan’s death shocked the BASE community.

It appears some illegal BASE jumpers are taking advantage of the government shutdown in Yosemite. A trail runner and climber making his way up El Capitan spotted people illegally parachuting from the peak in early October. BASE jumping is prohibited in national parks, but enforcement is currently difficult with the park having to furlough many of its staff amid the shutdown.
