The rock is mainly pebbles, stones, gravel and frail sandstone. Hundreds of big and small pebbles are all joined together in an integrated mass creating these pillars, which are as 300 meters high. The main routes are usually cleaned and steady, while one has to be careful to stay on course, to avoid non-stable stones and surprises! As for base-jumping, with my limited knowledge to the sport I think it is a great place to jump. Bare in mind that it is forbidden to climb to the towers on which Monasteries exist so I guess the same rule will apply for base-jumping as well..

I think this is a part of a Salomon BASE jump video.
