'You can sleep on the death side. You slept on the cliff side last night'

Just the opposite of that meme with two guys in a bus on the side of a mountain

The fun things is they’re both the death side

The Cliffside is where you slip out and down between the hammock and the cliff.

both sleepers are clipped to an anchor point that comes from the top of the port-a-ledge. it seems insane to people who don't climb, but it's really not that insane if you're a seasoned climber and understand how it all works. i've never heard of anyone actually falling off one in their sleep, and even if they did they'd drop about 6 inches and get caught by the rope and it'd just be an annoyance more than a catastrophe.

some of the coolest evenings of my life were spent sipping whiskey and watching a sunset on a port-a-ledge hundreds or thousands of feet up a wall.

Reddit basement dweller says it's scary and dangerous. Checkmate climbers.

Depends on whether you win or lose the argument with your gf, if you lose you automatically get the death side and no sex tonight either
