portaledge

After visiting the American Mountaineering Museum today in Golden, Colorado. I decided what I wanted to make my permanent home. For people exploring the big wall climbing experience, these trips can take many days to weeks of climbing. In this case sleep in necessary. There is this neat contraption called a portaledge. This is something similar to a tent which you hook into the rock with a caribbeaner. Here you can have the opportunity to get a good nights sleep while strapped in to your harness, the tent, and the wall. The idea of sleeping thousands of feet off the ground hanging by a fierce piece of metal inspires me.
