Rappelling: 300 feet down an Oklahoma City high rise?

Rumble the Bison, Oklahoman writer David Zizzo and everyone else who participated in Over the Edge’s rappelling fundraiser Wednesday to help Special Olympics have one over on me. Can’t say that I’ve ever come close to a 300-foot rappel!
For me, we’re talking maybe 40 feet. If that. These people did it from the top of the SandRidge building in downtown Oklahoma City. If you’re not sure which one that is, it used to be the Kerr McGee building and is the most prominent structure on the northeast side of downtown.

What’s your biggest rappel? I’ve already confessed my rather unimpressive roped descent best. Give me a shout. Tell me where it was and how far you rappelled down. And if you can, send photos!
