Three tents are suspended off a 4,000ft vertical cliff in the Arctic as climbers get some
much needed sleep

I’d say the answer is NO.
I’d say Camp 3 on Everest inside the “Death Zone” may be the most dangerous.

Or you could argue a few spots in Afghanistan or Iraq or in the Beqaa Valley

But this looks like a little “fun” trip to me. Not as dangerous as some more badass spots around the world.
I think there is a US Special Forces guy someplace sleeping with his eyes open is a turd world cesspool that would argue he’s been in worse spots.
BUT I DO LOVE THE PICTURES! Haha, enjoy your day!

I guess it takes all kinds of kooks to make the world go round.
Before you adventurers flame me, I do recognize and champion
adventurers, such as climbing Everest, and solo sailing adventures, but this one defies logic.
I don’t quite get the point of this exercise.
Since I left America, every day is an adventure for me, but I do not have to sleep on the side of a cliff to get my thrills.

The picture was taken by another cliff dweller as he fell to the bottom.

Well, you won’t have to worry about many critters getting onto your tent.

What the hell is the thinking there?
Climber: "Should we set up our camp down here, where it's flat, or climb to the top and set camp up there?"
Leader: "No, let's climb halfway up, and hang precariously from the sheer face!"
