Are you afraid of heights? Come to Preikestolen, Norway!
It was to cloudy to see the 600m drop off. 10 people fell off that day, mainly Italians... A few tourbus guides were pushing... Anyway. Preikestolen is in the south of Norway, Lysefjord. It is a few hours hike towards this place. Below there is a parking place which is crowded with tourists in summer time. So if you want to see Preikestolen for your self, not shared with hundreds of other tourists, it might be a good idear to start rather early (or come in winter). One last thing: don't go up there when it is cloudy or raining. Because then you won't see this incredible view. See more photos at www.nielsbreve.nl - Cee Bee from Bookmarklet

NOPE. - Derrick
O_o.... I'm breaking into a cold sweat just lookin at that pic. - mikepk
I'm surprised to learn no one has accidentally fallen off. - dkb
I got vertigo just looking at that - Admiral Anika
No way I am getting anywhere close to this. I still tremble 17 years after I was made to cross the Swinging Bridge: http://images.google.com/imgres... - Bora Zivkovic
that's quite a site bora. isn't that the bridge where they hold that free jumping festival once every year? - Cee Bee
saw this pic before... been there (Norway).. but couldnt find this spot..(didn't know it's Preikestolen).. :( - Goktug Okan Oguz
I was there 2 years ago, there is only one place which I find more exciting and it is Kjerag! http://www.naturkultur.no/Bilder... - Huseyin Savas
ahh hell naw - Cee Bee
@torque, it was indeed! My girlfriend had managed to stand on that but I couldn't :( http://www.ntkd.no/bilder... - Huseyin Savas
If anybody was wondering, the name "Preikestolen" means pulpit (?), or up where the priest stands in the church while preaching. (Actually I just like to bump up everything Norwegian;)) - Thomas Bøhm
omg, my muscles are tensing! *breathe* *breathe* *thinks of puppies* - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
being a photographer , I would like to know where the Photographer was to capture such a great angle ... - johnpiercy
looks like it may have been taken from an even more precarious location - Cee Bee
There's a place like this in Utah...only narrower. Lone Peak. Heheh - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
johnpiercy: My guess is helicopter or airplane. Tutivillus: No, there´s not. Don´t listen to him! - Thomas Bøhm
This is cool. I'm glad some bureaucrats have made someone fence the edge ;-) - Alistair (alpinefolk)
I'd have the kids on reinforced leashes fo' shizzle... and anchored to the rock. Oh hell, full rocklimber harnesses all around. Yo what's with the lack of love for our Italian tourist brothers and sisters? - Adrian
Do Not Want! - Neil Bernhart
Love to go there! - Kol Tregaskes
NO THANK YOU. - Mona Nomura
For extra fun, we can mount your sleeping bag on wheels! - Andrew C
I doubt I could get past the first crack in the surface, let alone the second or out to the edge - though I suspect it looks less forbidding if you are standing on it then it does in this aerial view. - Brian Sullivan
AWESOME. When are we going? - Steven Perez
Very similar to what it's like to be on top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. - Jeff P. Henderson
Scary. - Onur Gündüz
Friendfeed Meetup venue for next weekend ? ;) - Thomas Bøhm
Been there a couple of times, but my fear of heights would not allow me to go all the way to the top :) - Baard @ Pixum
I was standing about 5 meters from the edge when there because else I feel like I´m sucked into the abyss:-/ I´m not usually suicidal:) - Thomas Bøhm
I would LOVE to go there!! - Bec Rowe @d0tski
Don't think I could handle this. I get nervous walking across a footbridge! I went rock climbing once, and the instructor was impressed at how fast I climbed the face. He said "you're not a beginner are you?" and I said "yes, I was scared to death and wanted to get it over with!" - Rick Cogley
