Damn. I’ve been to the Cliffs of Moher, which are about 702 feet above sea level at their tallest, and those looked massive. And these are 3000 feet above sea level.

Cliffs of Moher was bad enough for me. Noooope.

100% agree. Don't know how so many people took photos near the edge. I literally sat down and scootched my way as close as my body would allow. Which wasn't all that close 😂

I made some other tourists laugh because I held onto my mom’s coat while she was wondering on the Dangerous Death Cliff Side of the little slate fence thing. She said “I’m FINE, let go” and I, in my panic, said “well, you’re the only one that knows how to drive standard!”

I did climb over on the danger side on some of the wider parts, took a selfie with my mom and brother and then scooted right back over.

Believe it or not, I actually saw a wedding taking place on the Cliffs of Moher. It was a windy, blustery day and I kept thinking, "Please don't let them be blown off the cliff."

Yeah no nope. As far as I ever experienced, all the wind came off the ocean, but I wouldn’t risk it in the off chance the wind swung around. I’d be screwed. (Disclaimer I was only there 3 days before moving on south, during the tail end of what was left Hurricane Oscar, my experience is limited, admittedly)

Exactly. The wind can change direction in an instant and the day I was there, the wind never let up.
