There seems to be no clear distinction between two possible meanings of "highest BASE jump", one being "highest starting elevation" and the other being "largest difference between starting and landing elevations." In the first interpretation, the new Meru base jump beats the Trango one. But the second is also interesting, and I can't tell from what I see so far whether the new one beats Trango. -- Spireguy 18:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Much as I like Alpinist, this was not an appropriate edit, as Wikipedia is not a collection of links; also see Wikipedia:External links. These could conceivably be included as references for additional content, but not just included as raw links. -- Spireguy 01:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
At Alpinist we are constantly recieving first hand accounts of recent climbs from all over the globe. Many of these accounts are published in our magazine and on our website under Climbing Notes . Theses notes are written by the climbers themselves, retelling the adventures, and ascents they completed. In recent years, we have obtained a series of Climbing Notes pertaining to climbs in the Trango Group. We are hoping to share these climbing notes with Wikipedia users. These notes are free and hold the sole purpose of passing on information, along with the stories written by individuals who have personally experianced the area. They offer vast information and add a personal perspective to the area. In no way are they intended to sell a product. Alpinist_Magazine 04:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
