Instead of kayaking, skiing... Many tourists around the world choose to challenge themselves with this type of cliff camping.
Cliff camping is becoming a new type of tourism. This is one of the conquests created by professional mountaineers to take travel experiences to the next level. Sleeping on a tent hanging on a cliff will stimulate the nerves of adventurous travelers.

The concept of cliff camping was first known when Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorges completed the fear of climbing the "Wall of Dawn" - one of the most difficult cliffs in the world to climb in El Capitan (California, USA) ) - 2015. They climbed continuously for 19 days and spent all of their time on the cliffs, continuing to climb when the weather was right and camping on the cliffs every night. The canvas for camping on the cliffs uses a sturdy construction. To camp, visitors tie people to cables, then are pulled down with their tents.
Camping on the cliffs has also become popular since then, in Yosemita National Park in California (USA), Estes Park in Colorado (USA) and gradually spreading to China, Canada and Colombia. This type is not for everyone, most people are dizzy but if you overcome it, you will have the wonderful experience of waking up in the morning with the rays of sunlight shining down on the landscape.

Cliffs may seem barren at first, but the great thing about sleeping on a coastal cliff is that you get to meet quirky new neighbors that are seabirds. In addition, you have a chance to see seals and dolphins in the ocean. This type of camping is also suitable for stargazing. The slopes and cliffs are often located in places with little light pollution. You'll get an amazing panoramic view of the sparkling night sky from your sleeping quarters, free of trees and tent ceilings.
You won't have to worry about rolling out of your "bed" since you're already strapped in with a harness the whole time. And if you think that when you wake up at night, you panic when you see the void below, then rest assured when you can't see anything because it's dark. You will only hear the sound of waves and the gentle sea water whispering below, helping you to have moments of relaxation.
You can participate in camping without any climbing experience, just enough "reckless" and adventure. In the UK, camping trips cost an average of around $350. In which, breakfast and dinner will be supplied to you entirely by cable system.
