Cool! I'dlike to see that up. 8)

I believe there is a building in China that has something like a glass bridge between two skyscapers - but I maybe wrong.

The Space Needle has a section on the observation deck with glass floors. Even though I have no fear of heights, it was hard to convince myself to walk on it.

It's the same at the CN Tower in Toronto ...... funniest thing is that I flinched before walking onto it.... My ex who suffers from vertigo walked straight into the middle of it. >:( >:( ;D ;D

Looks rather tame.

This is what real men do. Standing on a boulder wedged between two cliffs with a 1000 metre drop beneath into a fjord. ;D

(Not me in the pic. The day I went it was to cold, wet and miserable to do any climbing.)

Its not standing on the rock that would get me, its the jumping down onto it, to get there first:)

Fate as it is, finally overcoming any fears you step onto the rock:

After years of maintenance and face uplifts (in the form of chains, etc.) New Hampshire's hallmark, The Great Stone Face or The Old Man of the Mountain, cracked apart and fell to the vale below in 2003. No matter how we tried, we just couldn't save face. So much for what's etched in stone. :-[

I think my vertigo would really conflict with me going on to that thing! And I own it all to St-Peeters in Rome!

Not so good there. But there's a cliff about half a mile along the fjord that the crazy norweigens do BASE jumping off.


As for the rock falling, well, it's been there since the last iceage and it is fairly well lodged. I don't see it going anywhere soon. ;D
