OT - Where is this cliff found..?

[deerwhacker444]

Does anybody recognize this cliff? I found it while browsing the net and cant find its location.

Very photogenic...!

[Kansas Ed]

From the Internet: "Preikestolen or Preacher's Pulpit/Pulpit Rock is a massive cliff 604 metres above Lysefjorden, opposite the Kjerag plateau, in Forsand, Norway. The top of the cliff is approximately 25 by 25 metres, square and almost flat, and is a famous tourist attraction."

Now that is some rock.

[TedH]

I wonder how many people have fallen off?

[nemhed]

The sad thing is, nowadays, I see a photo like that and I just assume it's photoshopped.

I'd stop at that first rather large CRACK in the rock, even though logic says my puny 200 lbs wouldn't likely be THE event to topple the zillion-ton rock.

[rjohns94]

and I was looking at how fun it would be to free climbing that crack in granite.

Caramba!

That would be fun to climb but I'll use pitons and rope thanks.

Never said I had a clean bill of mental health.

Hollly molllly!!!! I ain't afraid of much but that exceeds my tolerance right there.

Well, I might could be persuaded to go up there with a parachute on. Maybe.

Climbing is too much like work. I'd rather rappel down instead.
I'm the one in the camo jacket.

I see that and I'm reminded of Wile E. Coyote jumping up and down on the cliff to wipe out the Roadrunner.
The seemingly secure part falls and poor Wile E. again plunges to his demise. The Roadrunner left to
defy gravity.

THAT is one heck of a rappel!

[piller]

At 604 meters, or approximately 1850 feet, its height is easily enough for a good parachute jump. Looks and sounds like a great time. There are very few things to compare with being in a parachute harness in the open air, but being there for the birth of your kids sure does.

You would have to tie, gag and dope me to get me out on that rock!!!!!

[rangerider7]

I thought that was a bunch of Obama Voters that have gone there after they have realized the error of their ways.

[Rimfire McNutjob]

I'll go ahead and put that on the list of places to not get anywhere near.

[rjohns94]

The rapel always feels better after a tough climb. My son and I would be all over that like melted butter over hot toast!

So when are we going? I say we make it a Leverguns meet.

[MrMurphy]

There's a cliff on the Aran Islands off Ireland with an even better view and no "will it break off?" question.....

It's the center of a Bronze Age (occupied up through viking times) fortress on the island. I'll post a pic one of these days.

Nice 1/2 mile or so walk up to appreciate the flight in and drive there to get to the walk......

My wifes family is from the Aran Islands though we never went there. We visited Ireland for our honeymoon but ran out of time.

Yep, me to. I get vertigo just looking at that picture!

[71fan]

It looks like a neat destination to me...very cool.

Yosemite has some similar "views." the Half Dome diving board comes to mind. That'll get your heart racing.

[MrMurphy]

Trying to link photos.......won't work grr.

[Peter M. Eick]

Its in Norway. It is a heck of hike back to it as I remember. I did not know what I agreed to when I said I would go but the view is quite nice. One advantage of working for an oil company is the travel. I regret not duplicating this photograph on my own. I tend to shoot the shots. Also it was windy when I was there so the edge was definitely "verboten".

[shawn_c992001]

Gobblerforge thanks for the pic taken about an hour from my house! Drove over the Gorge quite a few times in my 29 years.

[Barcelona Rick]

That sure does look like Julia Roberts just a smiling in the red.....
