Cliff Camping

   Climbers really are a different breed, manhauling that picnic bench and all that beer.

[Fred]

Lets hope they drink in moderation. 

[Indygenerallee]

Would be a bad time to "roll" out of bed!!  

[Drache]

No thanks I toss in turn in my sleep and that isn't high enough to deploy a parachute....

[TruckDriver]

NOT in a million years will I be doing that 

[Fred]

I don't know. I mean, climbing a cliff is one thing but just hanging off the side of one and reading a book........I can think of better things to do.
As for the picnic table..........I can drink just as well with both feet on the ground.  

[twodko]

No way in hell.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the benefits are worth the hassle.  There are much better ways to seek isolation and enjoy the beauty of our planet that are less dangerous.

[moparstuart]

UMMMMMM     NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tan top]

 going all the way up there to read a book      its a suppries no ones on the damn phone  

think i'll give sleeping on a cliff face a miss

I second that. . . No F-ing way.

[RECHRGD]

Just looking at those pictures puts my balls in my throat.  I've never understood how some people have no problem with heights and others do.  I wasn't born with wings, so I'll pass......

[burnout.dawg]

Uh...no thanks. I like both my feet planted firmly on the ground!

[duanesterrr]

I bet if you have the nightmare where you are falling and falling it would bring a whole different meaning in this instance.

[Tilar]

UMMMMMM     NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  My thoughts exactly! I always said if it's higher than picking corn, or lower than digging taters I aint doin it.

Funny you should say that. I have nightmares all the time about this. My last parachute jump still haunts me. Gravity hurts and kills.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

I tend to doubt this one's real. The straps are around the table top and the 750 lbs of people weight is below the straps. Nails would pull right out. However, if it is real, they are stupid.

Now that's funny as hell right there uh huh! 

[GOTWING]

oh man where do i sign up?

[Bandit72]

makes you think .... how many times have you just mindlessly stepped out of bed in the middle of the night to go to the restroom?

I think it's real take a better look at how it's strapped, there is a carbeaner near the edges of the table then another loop of white strapping going under the crossbar that the seat boards are attached to. No way you could ever get me to do that but there are plenty of people out there with "death wishes"

[mrsskip68]

 OH HELL NO!!!!!! I live with Skip68, that's dangerous/exciting enough for three lifetimes!

[A383Wing]

I got those pics in an email as well....my first thoughts were "Oh Hell NO!"

I got enough problems getting up on the roof of my house when I have to

Ya think?  How about just getting two normal looking  broads to do that?  Ain't happenin' Jack. It's fake.

There are straps going under the lower braces and all those people appear to be wearing harnesses with safety ropes. I don't know too many reckless climbers.

just doing that shit is wreckless to me   LOL    But then again i have a heart condition

[69rtse4spd]

I meet a young lady years ago that actually did sleep on the side of the cliff, said it was unique, no sh*t. I call BS on the table, climbing down to it would be tricky, what they probably don't show is the crane up top that will lower you down for the shot, after you get seated & everbody is balanced out right. I will keep my feet on the ground thank you.

So would I if I did that. It's called "heart in my throat" condition.

[bull]

I don't think it would really bother me but on the other hand I don't really see the point of it. Unless it takes more than a day to climb up a sheer cliff why stop off to camp? Answer: attention whores.

[Troy]

The pictures (other than the picnic table one) appear to be climbs that could easily last more than a day. I don't think most people just stop midway, pitch a tent, and hang out for a couple hours reading a book.

Sleeping on a cliff face is a real habit of some climbers. 

The climbing world didn't just wake up one morning and decide to do something that ridiculous just for the hell of it.  It started with sleeping overnight during a climb on a ledge where they felt safer being roped to the rock.  Then they graduated to using a strong sleeping bag setup and fastening that to the hillside.  Eventually they were hanging the bag on ropes entirely.  Etc.

The picnic table?  I think that one must be purely a staged photo stunt.

Picnic table maybe hanging...But looks photoshopped to me

Most people, no. But many people seem to enjoy being weird/stupid when there's a camera nearby.

[AKcharger]

Cliff camping is so 1990's
 

[BigBlackDodge]

Those people are 'bat-shit' crazy hanging around like that!

I seem to remember one weirdo that always had a camera nearby... Even with his 6 story Big Mac. (or however big it was)
