I and family members Rock climb. Have not had opportunity to do Big Wall, but did many climbs in the 75 foot range. That is 7 stories high.

I enjoy life in the VERTICAL WORLD.,, Of course ALWAYS use rope and harness,,, So we can climb again next day

Let's see if this will show up. Couldn't believe someone was hang gliding above us! Where in the world did this guy ..take off from? The closet place we know of is about 50 minutes from us. I wonder if a wind caught him and hes up there saying..oh crap! He was really high up. You can't see the body on these, but there was one.

Yes,, It is called a portaledge. When climbing a 1500 to 3000 foot route, It takes about 3 days average, depending on difficulty. El-Capitan in Yosemite Ca. is 3000 feet, and average hard climber does it with team in 3 days. There are Super climbers that do it in a single day. No need for portaledge sleeping. DS has one that he used in Superstition mountains near Phoenix AZ. He did not really need it,, but took with him, and set up on top, and spent the night.

In pix above,, I bet that sand on the beach was pretty warm to the touch for a while, at that spot.
