Rock Climbing at Pulpit Rock, Tallarook, Victoria, Australia 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. www.chockstone.org /PulpitRock/PulpitRock.htm   (777 words)

Tau Norway - Trip to Preikestolen (The Pulpit rock) 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. www.globosapiens.net /travel-information/Tau-697.html   (1128 words)

B.U. Bridge: Boston University community's weekly newspaper None-theless, the "Pulpit Rock" story became legendary when it was told in Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel The Blithedale Romance, which was based on the author's experience at a utopian farming community there. Pulpit Rock "was known to us under the name of Eliot's pulpit from a tradition that the venerable Apostle Eliot had preached there, two centuries gone by, to an Indian auditory," writes Hawthorne. Even if Pulpit Rock's past remains a mystery, attempting to retrace the steps of the people who ascended it could give us clues to the creative process of a great American writer, insight into a noble utopian experiment that failed, as well as additional details about an honorable 17th-century religious mission. www.bu.edu /bridge/archive/2000/11-10/pulpitrock.html   (1713 words)

Norway Tour 96 - A Motorcycle Vacation Travelogue - Day 6 To hike to the Pulpit Rock was of course something we had planned to do, and luckily the weather today was as perfect as can be. While the hike to the Kjerag rock was only marked by red painted rocks and went steeply up and down over barren terrain, the hike to the Pulpit Rock went on a clearly marked trail at lower altitude so the surroundings were green and lush. That would be the ultimate feeling, a lot worse than the experience on the Kjerag rock earlier the same day, because this time you could see all the 2,000 ft down to the blue green surface of the Lysefjord. travel.zerogdesigns.com /ntour96_day6.html   (2289 words)
