Path to Preikestolen
#61 - Monday, February 6, 2017
The hike I did in Norway was the most risky and dangerous activity I have ever done in my life. With no prior hiking experience, it was only when I arrived at the mountain to witness a cloudy downpour of rain that I decided I have come to far to give up and turn back. I made a commitment with my girlfriend that we would make it to the top no matter what came in our way. Hopefully this picture speaks for itself about the countless times I slipped and almost tumbled a thousand feet to my death on the slippery rocks of the mountain slopes. There are no railings or safety fences put in place at all, and only a single bridge is placed to guide you a few feet in one section.

Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock)
#59 - Monday, February 6, 2017
One of the most mythical places I have ever dreamed of visiting was the fjords of Norway. I decided I would take on the challenge of hiking the western mountain range of Norway to reach a cliff known as Preikestolen in Norwegian, or Pulpit Rock in English. The hike takes on average 1 to 3 hours each way and consists of a distance of 3.8 kilometers. Once you reach the top, you are awarded with stunning views of the landscape from the edge of a 1982 foot cliff.
