    Extreme hang -- acadia park, ME

    i remember there was a thread somewhere of dangerous hangs or otherwise absurd setups...can't seem to find it right now. Anyway, in acadia park a couple weeks ago rock climbing we found an ideal high angle hang spot. thought id send along a few pics for inspiration and consideration...

    if anyones interested in the spot, its otter cliffs and is an ideal spot to hang a hammock with a few nuts and cams

    Glad they were all on belays, that was going to be my question

    And whats great about that spot is you don't have to worry about the novice campers stealing your gear

    Belay? We don't need no stinking belay!
