Cliff jumping on Traskö Storö

CliffJumps01As we chilled in the sunshine right next to a massive boulder on Traskö Storö, three teenage kids came in a small motor boat and landed right next to us. They quickly tied up the boat, grabbed a rope and scrambled up that impressive rock. It is a good 15-20 meters high and has an almost vertical drop into the water.

With the help of the rope they lowered themselves down to a little ledge which was the most scary part of all. It is really steep and a slip would have meant some serious sliding down the sandpaper surface of the rock for a good 10 meters. Our hearts were beating almost as fast as theirs as they prepared themselves for a few minutes to build up enough courage for the actual jump! All three, the girl and the two boys did it and after their first success the stormed up for seconds.

We oldies stood by with cheers, applause and encouragement in the safety of the boat and the pleasure of Aperols.
