WOW! That is incredible — and totally scares me at the same time :-)

Eek! There’s no way I would stand there! Looks cool, though.

I love the video Where the Hell is Matt?

If I’m not mistaken, Matt danced on that rock. He left the scene out of the final cut because I guess he decided it was a dumb place to dance and a bad example for children. You can see it in the outtakes.

That is so cool! I’ve seen hanging valleys, but this hanging rock in a valley is marvelous!

I was there just last weekend! This place is amazing, peaceful and not scary at all.
The hike up is pretty tough at the beginning, though.
