BASE Jumping off Ancient Art Near Moab

Corkscrew summit of Ancient Art in the Fisher Towers near Moab, Utah.

National Geographic's Extreme Photo of the Week is a spectacular black-and-white shot taken by Keith Ladzinski of Steph Davis and Mario Richards BASE jumping off the Corkscrew Summit of Ancient Art, a spectacular tower in the Fisher Towers near Moab, Utah.

Keith, a climbing photographer based in Colorado Springs, captured the free-falling moment last January on a chill day. Steph says in the article, "We jump together a lot, and it seemed like it would be a fun twist to jump together from this tower where it's hard to even fit one person at the top." Pretty wild!

An amazing place to be in the first place, let alone to jump off! I’m clinging on with both arms round the summit spire, even knowing I’m going back down the ’safe way’!
