Sleeping Above A Cliff In A Portaledge At 1500 Meters Altitude | Axel On The Edge
Ойын-сауық
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.

I have extreme acrophobia (fear of heights). I had to look away when they showed your pov looking down. I could never get any wear near the edge of that cliff. I salute your craziness, bravery and calmness to do this. 😁

Im so scared of heights theres really no word to describe what videos like this do to me. I start pouring sweat, hands sweat, I almost cant look at the screen. Axel, you're a news reporter how the heck can you handle these heights? By the way, your parents chose an excellent name, if we have a son we may choose "Aksel".

Respect for this guy. He said he is scared but he just did it like it was easy asf
First night for him outside and first night on a portal edge. Respect to this man!
I couldn’t do that. But, you’re right, the view would be fantastic.
Cant get enough of this guys adventures!! What a life.
In 1983 i was 18 and we did Longs Peak in Colorado and naturally hung our feet over the 2.4k foot cliff over looking Chasm Lake. My feet still tingle.
Everytime he would look over the edge I could feel my heart sink into my body.
The most amazing part of this video to me is the little villages down in the valleys. How does one even find themselves living in a place like this?
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.
Yikes! Try not to ROLL off the wrong side of the bed!
I'm so happy to have found this channel... I'm very scared of heights and would never do these things. It's great to watch someone who is a little scared try this crazy sh@t. Cheers bud.
I don't think I could pull that off. Nice job at handling your nerves and making it comfortable for you.
The whole aspect of this scares the bejesus out of me but ultimate respect for you and you got a early morning call with a cuppa ! 👍👍👍
This is inspiring. I used to climb. Doing this with my oldest son and the help of experienced guides would be such a cool thing to do as a father son experience!
No words to express to this Warriors of Boldness .They fighters ,they fight against part of Nature and they won.Amazed
YES! I would do this in a heart beat. The adrenalin, the fresh air and breathtaking view would be something I'd never forget 🙂
Wow what courage to do that. My heart was thumping with nervousness just watching and hearing you say at 3:11 that you didn't think this was a good idea
I have dizziness and butterflies in my stomach just looking at this vid.
Love the way he says; 'it would be a little bit dangerous.' Ha ha, it would be the end if it all. Splendid view.
As a person who used to fear heights until I did roofing for a year and realized how much I love heights. I’d love this

0:54 is my worst nightmare. My brain wouldn’t even trust my legs to get that close and if I pushed through one look down would have crawl back out of fear of losing balance. I’m always amazed how any person would not be afraid of heights!
How does this not have 50 millions views, let alone 1 million
Imagine trying to sleep withouth harness. A potential switching of sleeping sides could result in a nice plunge to ones death.
My Anxiety level just went sky high watching this video. Hats off to both of them for being so brave and daring. Stay safe🙏
Definitely! This is amazing.
I get second-hand fear just watching these! Beautiful views, you're one brave man
Wow...Axel that was so serene... im jealous.
Now this is living! I wish i had the courage to do these types of things. I need to face my fears !!
That was AMAZINGGGGG! i really can feel how that could be challenging!
1st time sleeping outdoors. What an experience. This guy has guts
no way man. I would be awake all night!
This just make me to dream again. Thank you.
U guys are crazy... And to experiance life at fullest ❤️🙏... Even i wish to do this.. Love from India 🇮🇳
These cameras shots are something else!
Axel, you are definitely brave with doing this. I’d be really scared doing this, though I must say that the views are amazing
Yes I would sleep there, I think it would be a great experience to be able to watch the night sky and experience the morning sunrise, especially with that coffee. Well done

Very brave of him. Well done!
Awesome!
I give you a lot of credit ! That takes a lot of guts. I suffer from vertigo more as I get older, but would love to sleep on the top of the mountain at the summit under the stars. Usually when I have camped in the past, I sleep pretty well outside. Great video! I saw you video about the Stairway to Heaven rope bridge. That was insane !! LOL.

This is sooo cool!!
In my younger years, I would have loved to have tried this. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, I eventually developed a keen fear of heights. Where before, I could sit with my legs dangling off a cliff, now I can't even get near the edge. Such a pity, getting this fear.

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
Why is he so damn close to the edge?! I almost had a heart attack
I saw toda this movie on TV on WORLD. Very courageous for a guy who didn't sleep outside till now.
Thats insane
Axel is my inspiration in life.
Es increible hasta donde puede llegar la osadia del espiritu del hombre. Admiro la fortaleza de este señor. Felicitaciones.
