Beautiful shot Norrel! Were you hanging on the other end of the rope while shooting? Life first, photo second! :))

How can somebody live up there, or is that building a hotel or so..??

Bob on a rope! It's a fantastic new exclamation. Great scene shot, Norrel.

Thanks for your comments on this one, Ritva, Margot and not1word. Yes, I was hanging on the other side of the rope while shooting. The building you see is Wiesbadener Hütte, a mountain lodge, only accessible by foot, where mountaineers can stay overnight. We didn't stay there, it was only a 2 hour hike from our hotel to this lodge.

I've heard of soap-on-a-rope. Bob on a rope. And I just read there was a Norrel on a rope too. Great stuff!

Looks like a very scary trip.
