Same here. Used to do that when I was climbing (Three Fingered Jack comes to mind), and generally with a rope attached but you couldn't get me to do it now.

Just looking at the shot gives a sense of fear of falling. A death wish??

I would but I flew Hang Gliders for over a decade.

Why isn't she tether to a life line? Could this be a Photoshopped image, such would be very doable.

Thanks for your service. That Huey was and still is some great bird.

I may be wrong but I think it's a composite. I see a slight outline around the rock, either that or it was over processed. In any event it's a dramatic image and I like it.

I feel sick. I am hoping there is some kind of trick photography here, like super imposed or something.

When people who do stuff like this get killed or injured all their friends go on about how unexpected and tragic it is.
Nope, you do stupid things sooner or later bad things happen.
Phoney or not, some idiot will see it and try to do it themselves.

I would. But, I'd want complete control over how it was done.

It's bad enough she is sitting on the edge of the rock. She has her hands in her pocket. So really not chance of grabbing on to anything if she slips

Same for me... I'm a private pilot that is afraid of heights! I guess the climb-out has my full attention and is rapid enough for me to get through the first few hundred feet of altitude. After that, no problem! On the other hand, ladders, rooftops, skyscrapers, etc. all present the fear-factor. Is that odd, or what?😳
I go to the Grand Canyon frequently and see this sort of thing with young people showing off. I was told by one of the guides at the Canyon that they pick up around 20 to 30 bodies a year on the bottom of the Canyon floor. Not worth the risk.
