Don’t freak out, they would still be wearing their harness.
I really want to do this one day.
I don’t think I’d be able to sleep. I toss and turn so much I doubt I’d be able to stay on the ledge.
I think you’d subconsciously stop doing that. You do get larger platforms that double as tents. But whatever you take up, you have to climb up with, so the simpler, the better. My concern would be getting cold.
Ah, I see it’s actually a ledge and not one of those wall bed things (<– the technical term for them)
Darwin award in progress.
People on lemmy are becoming judgemental like on reddit. This is probably safer than riding a motorbike on a public road, remember there aren’t many rock climbing accidents and the gear is really safe when used properly. Darwin award would be justified MAYBE if they were doing something wrong, or had forgotten a piece of gear at home. Wtf…

Um, you’re not really selling this. That’s a pretty low bar.

Beside the point. I don’t know where this is in the world, but there must have been options for more sensible places to stay the night. If there aren’t, then it’s a poor choice of climbing route. I’m critical of the decision making that put them overnighting here, not the sport of rock-climbing in general.

They had everything they needed to sleep there. One would think they planned to sleep there…

Mate I’m quite risk averse but come on, you ever leave your house or too dangerous?
“OK, there’s no way they can tell us about their extended warranties up HERE, right?”
Uhh what if you wake up in the middle of the night and have to poop?
