Smith’s girlfriend is also a mountaineering enthusiast.
China News Service, October 21 — According to foreign media reports, mountaineers have always liked to challenge limits and seek thrills. Recently, an American mountaineering enthusiast made a lounge chair from discarded climbing ropes and installed it on a cliff about 350 feet (approximately 107 meters) above the ground. The mountaineer later sat in the chair himself to enjoy the sunlight and take in the views of Utah.
According to reports, this mountaineering enthusiast, Dallin Smith from Utah, USA, recently came up with the idea of repurposing the ropes he had discarded during his climbs. He wove the ropes into a lounge chair, with the entire frame of the chair made of metal. He then installed the chair on the cliffs of Rock Canyon in Utah.
Smith said the entire process took several weeks and used up two discarded climbing ropes, with two days spent just weaving the ropes into the chair. He also mentioned that securely fastening the chair to the cliff was no easy task.
After the chair was installed, Smith’s girlfriend also went up to the cliff to experience the thrill and excitement of sitting in the hanging lounge chair. It is reported that Smith’s girlfriend is also a mountaineering enthusiast.
