No I wouldn’t. I climbed up an extension ladder that was leaned up against the 2-story farmhouse where I lived when I was 2 years old and got up on the steep roof behind my uncle, who was patching the roof & hammering away. Told him to be careful and not fall. He said his blood felt like it turned to ice, he had to scoot down carefully and get his arm around me and balance and maneuver back down that ladder. I don’t know what he said to me when he got me in the house but I had a phobia of heights and climbing ladders till I was nearly grown. Looking at that photo there’s a possibility that the rock ledge could give way, it has happened before to others.
@Gusman I have that. I have never walked up to the edge of any height without the thought that says, " what if you just keep walking off the edge". When I was little I thought I was crazy but have since found that its very common.
This is the Nerve test on the hike to the Pinnacle, halls Gap, The Grampians. I did this when I was a kid. I don't recall exactly how high it was and you cannot appreciate it from this video, but it is definitely high.
@Thevy29 I would not want to walk that if it were more than three feet off the ground, let alone however high that is. I would be so nervous I would puke.
@Fluffybull Yes, and it is a real thing. High Places Phenomenon. I remember when I moved into a flat on the 9th floor. When I went outside and looked down, one of my legs actually lifted and was wanting to climb over the balcony. This happened without a conscious effort from me. I quickly went inside and it was 3 weeks before I went out on the balcony again.
No. I have a small hill behind my second property and when you stand at the top and look out there are hills and mountains as far as the eye can see and even there I become disoriented so no way. You can loose balance or a strong wind. Now if there was a rail maybe.
A wind gust will really ruin your day, and even without a wind gust, overhangs eventually continue their erosion to the point of structural failure, so anyone would be foolish to stand in that particular spot
Anyone doing it to prove some sort of point would definitely be proving one
