I like this part:
In reply to:
Für Leute mit Höhenangst am Besten geeignet ist der "Mittelfinger", der nicht betreten werden darf. Ein Trampolin an seiner Spitze symbolisiert die Freiheit der Berge. Es wäre zwar theoretisch auch als Absprungmöglichkeit für Base-Jumper geeignet, vorerst gibt es aber keine Pläne in diese Richtung.

Safely over the edge 400 meters of a high cliff to march and into the abyss look know in the future tourists at the crib stone in upper Austria. Becomes possible by the "5fingers", a "prospect platform for courageous ones". It is the form of a hand shared, which stand out "fingers" up to eight meters from the rock and can will enter.

Who wants to risk safely a view into the depth, should go on the glaesernen "finger" or look by a hole in the soil of another bar. Each particular of these alpine passenger-loading stairs offers a completely special view to the visitor. Who wants to concern it however only once more carefully, the panorama of resounding place can regard by a baroque bilderrahmen or the roof stone summit by means of telescope more near to itself near-get.

For people with elevator fear at the best one the "middle finger" is suitable, which will not enter may. A Trampolin at its point symbolizes the liberty of the mountains. It would be theoretically also as jump possibility for cousin Jumper suitably, for the time being gives it however no plans into this direction.

To last the work on that ran zirka 2,000 meters of building site lain highly on full speed. Strong wind and even snow endanger the punctual completion. On Saturday the "5fingers" was opened by national captain Puehringer in beautiful weather.

Re: [Mikki_ZH] Austria- check this out
I couldn't make sense of either one of these. It seems like the writer is using a lot of metaphors or something?

P.S. I didn't know what traduction meant until I looked it up. Nice word use.

When I don't know a word I use the word from an other language and try to customize it.
In this case I used the spanish word "traduccion" and tried to make an english word out of it. Sometimes it works...
By the way, I do the same thing in spanish. I have invented some nice words in spanish as well.CrazySmile

On Friday and Sunday I flew past the wall with my paraglider. In my opinion, this is not jumpable slider-up. Also for wingsuit the talus comes out too early. I have not done a rock drop yet, though.

So, no new big wall unfortunately...Unimpressed


Edit: Just saw that Miko already did a rock drop...
