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.

    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.
