I've calculated everything to the best of my abilities. In the event of a decimal, I've rounded up, which results in a harder obstacle (just to be safe). Enjoy:  These are the dimensions I will be using to build my own full-sized Cliff Hanger. And, if anyone cares, this is what I went through:  |

Yes he did. I'm very happy he did that. I've been curious what the ledge was like. I just assumed we all knew the ledge was three cm.  |

Will it be a modular/adjustable design, so you can play around with it and change the distances and heights? That's something I'd like to make one of these days... well nothing like Keita Tomino and his monster of a setup... maybe.

It will not be, but the way I'm going to build it should make it fairly simple to take down, adjust and reattach.
So, yes, but not intentionally.

My ledges are actually about 3.5 cm, I think. Unless they've grown. I'm honestly still a little confused about the Cliff Hanger because judging by how much finger the competitors get on the ledge makes it look like it's four centimeters, not three. Also, a British broadcast claims the ledge is four centimeters wide, although that's not a reliable source. On top of those, Levi knew nothing about Sasuke until he entered the ANC and won, and yet when he got to the Cliff Hanger, despite his fatigue, he could climb across it without much apparent effort. I highly doubt that he, as a Free Runner, trains his fingers to climb on tiny ledges. All those points lead me to believe the ledge is actually closer to four centimeters. Whichever is right, however, doesn't matter. Mine will be three centimeters wide, just to be safe. |

I thought you already had a Cliff Hanger pretty much like that. Or maybe it wasn't as long or something.

If we measured the screenshot with your scale/dimensions, would they be the same, or are you just using the screenshot as a general visual?

It's not a full replica. This one will be.
If you measure the screen shot yourself, you should get close to the numbers in the image I posted above. I calculated everything, then rounded up to be safe.

The two green numbers look a bit too big. If you measure the first ledge using either the 1' or 2'3" then it ends up being about 13.2'-13.5' long. Anyway, this all piqued my curiosity so I put the picture into Sketchup and dimensioned it. The trouble is that the screenshot or the footage is taken at an angle so that makes it hard to measure accurately. In this, I took one where I scaled the image to match your 8'4" of the left ledge and the other I scaled to match the 4'4" of the right ledge. Because of how the shot is at an angle, then it makes the middle ledge look like it's at about 9 degrees. [a href="  "][/a][/url] Then I drew a cliffhanger based off your numbers and got this.  So I took that, rotated it to match the angle of the shot as close as I could for both sets, one scaled to 8'4" left ledge and the other to 4'4" right ledge and it looks pretty accurate.  The only thing I'm unsure about is no matter how I look at it, I still can't figure why the middle ledge is so much higher than the one in the shot. Maybe 1' might be a few inches too much? Someone had this really high quality shot of the muscle park one, if I can find it I'll take a closer look with the model. *Update* Okay I found it. www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2073913 Thanks to whoever that is. So I twisted and rotated and did all sorts of things to get the angle right. [a href="  "][/a] [/url][a href="  "][/a][/url] If his forearm is the length of mine or even just a bit less (I'm 5'10" and from elbow to wrist is about 11") then it should still look longer than the height of the first to second ledges. So if your 1' is actually greater than the real thing, then that means you just have a more difficult replica and everything works out just fine. Pretty cool! |

A long post to tell me I was close to the money. Thanks for your efforts, though. It's good to know I was THAT close.  What I really like is that my current replica on the back of my garage and this new one are just about the same. |

Just giving myself stuff to do to pass the time until Navi starts.

Sorry for being off topic. But that's my majhost account. See.. I knew saving that picture would be useful. You're welcome |
