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

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."
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.
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.

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

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.
I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.
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.

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".
