Good thing they brought their helmets...
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

This explains why the tune is in a scary Dorian minor key. And why the melody drops quickly from high A down to low E, and ends all the way down on low A. The final splat.

Re: Good thing they brought their helmets...
I am pretty stable on my mtn bike, but man, I could never do that. I get the shakes just lookin' at it.
How do you prepare for the end of the world?
Re: Good thing they brought their helmets...
Most deaths from falls occur between 10-15 ft. I'd say they were quite safe. It's when they get back up to the parking lot where they need to be on the look out for inattentive drivers.

Re: Good thing they brought their helmets...
Did you read the part where they explain that the greatest danger was bumping the wall with their handlebars, so the safest ride was hugging the edge? I love heights, but I couldn't do that on a bike. I'd walk it if the winds weren't gusty, however.

There's always honor in just lying prone and clutching, while trying not to be sucked over the edge.
Did they mention how they got there?

They didn't mention how they got to the ledge but I know there is a path a ways south of O'Brien's tower which leads right to that sandstone ledge, I could walk it in my sleep.
