"What would John Muir have thought about BASE jumping?"

I've read John Muir's books about Yosemite. I remember they way he climbed up the unstable ice cone that forms in the winter around Horsetail fall just to stick his own head into the vortex. I remember all the unclimbed and unclimbable-looking rock faces he scrambled up without modern protection.

If John Muir knew about BASE jumping and wingsuits, he would have thought, "I need to do that right now today!"

But he would also know that it isn't compatible with what's left of the wilderness experience in Yosemite.
