"Thank God Ledge" is an iconic feature on the Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. This narrow granite ledge, approximately 35 feet long, varies in width from about 5 to 12 inches and is situated roughly 1,800 feet above the valley floor.
Please mark this NSFL.
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.
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 :)

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?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
