A ladder in the sky

[trottigy]

 

 

A new “floating” staircase in Norway promises spectacular views and undeniable thrills – but it’s probably not for the fainthearted.

 

The 131-foot long stairway, called the “Stigull” ladder, dangles some 2,591 feet above a Norwegian fjord in the small village of Loen, in the north west of the country.

Notice no one else is on the ladder.

Okay, I'll go next...

 

But wait a minute. That rope is going to get in the way. Well, I'll just put that to one side.

 

Or... does someone wanna race me?

Even if there are climbers, I‘m not into thrill sports…no…

My wife wouldn't, she has issue with height.

I'd love it !

I think I will take the elevator.

Now the scenery is breathtaking.

I have no problem with heights. We often go tree climbing in the forest, and do obstacle courses of different levels. Good exercise for all muscle groups! Much better than going to the gym.

 

The link article shows a couple of other pictures from climbers, and I am sure it‘s actually even probably safer than the height of the forest obstacles as you are going at your pace. and can always go down. Just the picture looks intimidating. 😅 But from afar it looks like its super high. Nonetheless, no one should think about doing above ground sport activities if they have health problems or fear of heights. 😬

These tobaggan rides are also popular in southern Germany. They start at the top of the mountain and go down. I drove it down twice a couple of weeks ago.
