This was taken at Dewey Point, above Yosemite Valley. We had snowshoed in from Badger Pass Ski Area, roughly a six mile round trip. DW is actually standing several feet from the edge, but the camera angle makes it look like she is right on the edge.
I think dedmiston's point is that if someone posts a picture like this, the poster ought to make it clear that insane risks are not really being taken. (Of course, if you are wearing one of those flying squirrel wing suits, the whole point is to document the insane risk.). ;)
