"OK, there's no way they can tell us about their extended warranties up HERE, right?"
Love how rock climbing has some of the safest, most thoroughly tested gear in sports, but it always looks dangerous and that attacts all the "these guys are all idiots", "darwin award" and "i would probably die" people.
There's no good reason to do what these guys are doing, it's thrill seeking pursued by the kind of people that associate risky behavior with meaningful life experiences.
I feel like that logic could be applied to a lot of the things we do for fun.

Gear isn't the whole story. My running shoes are safe but a slip or getting hit by a car are always a risk. In the photo, the risk isn't necessarily the equipment: it's human error or the unpredictability of nature.
Yeah, I think I'll just . . . not do that.
I mean I could, definitely, but I just don't really feel like doing it.

Unnecessary bravery is identical to stupidity
Absolutely the fuck no.
Uhh what if you wake up in the middle of the night and have to poop?
Probably shit over the edge if you can't hold it

They are supposed to shit in small bags and take them with them and dispose them only when they are back to the ground. Of course nobody can control you, if you pop just down from the edge.
All the people in this thread acting like this is safe and reasonable. "It's okay because they still are wearing their harnesses". Okay... lol

I really want to do this one day.
I don't think I'd be able to sleep. I toss and turn so much I doubt I'd be able to stay on the ledge.
I think you'd subconsciously stop doing that. You do get larger platforms that double as tents. But whatever you take up, you have to climb up with, so the simpler, the better. My concern would be getting cold.
Ah, I see it's actually a ledge and not one of those wall bed things (<-- the technical term for them)

I always just want to know seeing this how many have died hotelling cliffside.
Probably not many it's pretty safe if you're tied in.
Workplace safety harnesses are very different from climbing harnesses

I bet there are still a bunch of spiders up there.
Yeah, but would you do it IF YOU COULDN'T TELL ANYBODY?

I wanna know who took the picture, though. Someone is on that same vertical wall wielding a camera?
