Would You Stand on The Kjeragbolten?

image credit

The name means the Kjerag Bolt - a massive 5 m³ boulder wedged in to a crevasse on the edge of the Kjerag mountain in Lysefjorden, Norway. Without the help of any mountaineering equipment, brave visitors can walk on to the bolt - it is said to bring good luck.

Yet there are consequences for those unsteady of foot: the nearest ledge is 241 meters (790 feet) below. Once you bounce off that there is a drop of a further 735 meters (2,411 feet). So, the question is, would you stand on the Kjeragbolten?
