Sleeping Above A Cliff In A Portaledge At 1500 Meters Altitude

Sleeping Above A Cliff In A Portaledge At 1500 Meters Altitude | Axel On The Edge

3 роки тому

An overnight stay on the portaledge, a special kind of tent for steep rock walls, will definitely test that fear. Euromaxx reporter Axel Primavesi summoned all his courage, went to the Urlkopf mountain in the northern part of Austria and suspended himself over the abyss for one night.

@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e 6 місяців тому

Pretty cool honestly. As a kid I used to make little spots up in the trees in the woods, pretending that i was doing stuff like this. It was particularly easy for me because a hurricane had rolled through one summer, knocked down a bunch of trees, creating an easy "ramp" to get to the trees that weren't knocked down. I wouldn't mind trying this one day though.

@charly17d21 2 роки тому

I beat this fear on psychedelics definitely just telling me its all made from my mind and that i was fully in control of my body just as if i was on a dry flat easy walk , the thing is, when you're near a cliff, you cant think about anything else, or you might die, it becomes some kind of meditation and I absolutely love it
