Fri Night Vid Terrifying Ice Climbing in Zion National Park
This week's Friday Night Video is bound to make some palms sweaty. Scott Adamson sets off on a pitch of outrageously thin ice that becomes thinner the higher he gets. As raw footage goes, this is pretty terrifying!

Is there really no wall in the US that overhangs for more than 1000ft/300m? Seems incredible for such a huge country.
I think the limitation depends on rock physics, not the size of the country.
Hah! That sounds like a trick question - although I'm not quite sure why.
Is there one anywhere?
Mount Thor on Baffin Island has an overhanging face apparently 1,250m high. The Angel Falls face we climbed was probably over 900m high. Those are some of the more notable examples, but there's an enormous difference between those and 300m. It just struck me that a country with such vast and impressive geography, 300m didn't seem as high as I'd expected.
