What it’s like to live on the edge – camping on the side of a 400ft cliff - SilverKris

"A guided portaledge cliff-camping experience in Estes Park that places guests on a hanging cot attached to a sheer rock face roughly 400 ft high, delivering spectacular sunset, starlit-night and blazing-sunrise panoramas. After scrambling and abseiling to the ledge, visitors sleep on a stretcher-like, often wobbly portaledge secured to the cliff with specialist rigging; the stay is deliberately extreme—guests report discomfort (rickety ledges, numb limbs, cold nights and improvised toilet arrangements) but also intense thrill and a profound new perspective, with the operator marketing it as a limit-pushing adventure (the article frames the experience in the context of roughly US$600 a night)." - SilverKris
