It's exciting to share one of my favorite wingsuit jumps ever: Mahogany.

Getting to "open" this exit in 2016 was super special because one of my best friends, Pat Walker and I had been exploring the area, previously flying from both Black and Squaw Peaks. Wanting to explore more of American Fork Canyon, finding Mahogany together... and going through the process to make this flight happen made that day stand out.... A full-value KAVU Day, for sure!

Finding a full-on, but perfect line through the forest, I couldn't wait to jump it with Pat. When that day finally came... let's just say, it was memorable!

On the more serious side, this jump is not for the faint of heart. I'd probably call it "a triple black diamond". In fact, the only "easy part" is the approach. Ha ha ha.

The exit point faces north, so it's always in the shade, and although it's very steep, the exit is mostly crumbly limestone. Pat "fixed" a rope to aid getting to the exit point, from where you can see the prominent ledge 100 meters below.
