DT, You and I have been to few of these places... Surely you have taken me to the moon over the acropolis, And some of those beaches... I do remember them now... I do...
This 40-foot-long sliver of granite on Half Dome, named the Thank God Ledge, is the only way to get beyond the Visor, a massive roof that looms over the Regular Northwest Face route. Most people crawl, says Alex Honnold, but he prefers to walk it, face out, since that’s “cooler.” The 30 seconds it takes to get across requires absolutely no technical climbing skill, but even Honnold admits it’s sobering to look at 1,800 feet of air. direct from the National Geographic

ReplyDeletethe man on the ledge must have been photo shopped. How did he get there? Scary.
