This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Thank God I'm not stupid enough to do this LOL.
nonononononono. nope. non. nein.
"Because it's there" is not sufficiant reason for climbing a mountain.
It's a good enough reason for me.
One fart and I'm dead
Idk man, I think you'd want more than one God to thank if you want to make it out of there alive. lmao
On a scale of "1 to NOPE" I rate this an "absolutely the fuck not, what is wrong with you?"
Please mark this NSFL.
Hard pass
Is it really as steep as shown in the picture? The trees seem to lean a little bit to the left.
Either way. Hell no.
It's the sheer face of half dome. It may not be exactly 90° upright but it basically is.
Oh you're right. If I tilt my laptop so that the horizon is flat, it's not as steep. (but still.. too steep for me.)
See the pic somebody else linked. The horizon is not flat in that area :)
The good thing about this is that you don't have to do this
That is one dedicated Shel Silverstein fan.
Its called that because you have a new appreciation for your life after coming back from that alive... "Thank God I didn't drop to my death!"
Nah not for me chief
WHY
Just by looking at this I have a panic attack. Fuck this shit.
Same. Yikes.
When I say I'm not afraid of heights; what I really mean is that I'm not abnormally afraid of heights.

Fun fact, Alex said in an interview that this is a picture of him having a panic attack. Just shaking and desperately trying to keep calm as adrenaline pours through his system.

I can imagine myself on that ledge and being the one person where after thousands of years of being perfectly fine, the ledge finally decided to give way and separate from the cliff.
Geologic time includes now.

Reminds me of the Via Ferrata in Switzerland. It really gets the blood pumping and gives you a massive adrenaline rush, as your feet are walking on tiny metal bolts driven into a sheer cliff. You can see all the way down to the valley floor from between your toes :3
It looks like you get clipped in so it's probably safe
It is! It's mostly just psychological, but it's a fun traverse.
Yeah, nope. That sounds utterly terrifying.

Imagine sneezing
It’s Alex Honhold. He’s wired differently than most people. Definitely not tethered.

What a nice place to relax and have a cool refreshing glass of NOPE.
Why? Why would you do this?
And to quote Gwen on Galaxy Quest:
Well fuck that!
