Rock Climbing at Pulpit Rock, Tallarook, Victoria, Australia (777 words)
Pulpit Rock resides very close to the little township of Tallarook in the Granite Highlands a good hour and a half drive north of Melbourne.
The rock is mossy, the access (passing through private property) somewhat lengthy on a hot day, and the number of worthwhile routes very limited.
Pulpit is unlikely to appeal to the masses.
Tau Norway - Trip to Preikestolen (The Pulpit rock) (1128 words)
When we got up to the top we were more or less alone there (a couple had spent the night in a tent there) so we could enjoy the view and take some pictures of the place.
The rock itself is something like 25 by 25 meters and when you stand on the edge it is basically 600 meters straight down.
Some people suggested that a pier should be constructed in Lysefjord and a lift should be built from the fjord to the Pulpit rock.
