Whenever an obstacle arises in an action or adventure story, it is usually this. Often encountered on the way into Mordor, it is also found in urban settings. Cliffs of Insanity can be natural or man-made; if the latter, they may involve Le Parkour or a Clock Tower. What they all have in common, however, are the invisible arrows shouting "The plot goes this way." To simply go around (or take the elevator/tram ride) would be inconceivable. One must take them head-on; and just to be sporting, with whatever safety equipment they didn't think to bring along with them ahead of time. Whether or not he was known to be in the area, the villain will invariably Cut the Safety Rope before the hero can make it to the top. Fortunately, the hero will grab a ledge or something and reappear. He/she will invariably need an assist for the last 5 feet of the climb. If the hero or villain is being pursued, he will invariably pick the tallest point in the landscape and climb that (although that is a trope in itself). And at some point in the climb, expect to see a Plummet Perspective to emphasize the danger if the climber should fall. This is a super trope dealing with Insane Precipices. This deals with the strange properties of these (mostly) fictional features, such as their apparent unavoidability. Bizarrely averted in Role Playing Games by Insurmountable Waist-High Fence, which is the opposite of this trope. Usually involved in a Climbing Climax. Not to be confused with Mountains of Madness. See also It's All Upstairs From Here and Scaling the Summit. Sub-tropes include: Absurd Altitude Clifftop Caterwauling Climbing Climax Climb, Slip, Hang, Climb Clock Tower Colossus Climb A Crack in the Ice Dangerous Clifftop Road Disney Villain Death Literal Cliffhanger Not the Fall That Kills You… No Escape but Down Plummet Perspective Railing Kill Rope Bridge Save the Villain Take My Hand! |

Wonder Woman: The Contest: The one dangerous obstacle the contestants in the final race were aware of going in was the tall steep cliffs they had to climb to get onto the main island after completing the swimming portion of the race. They were not aware however that there were going to be harpies at the top of the cliffs trying to knock them down and swipe them with their talons as they climbed. | |

The Divine Comedy: One of the few major challenges Dante and Virgil find traversing Hell are steep cliff-faces that they have to find their way down. The first time, they hitch a ride on the flying monster Geryon and the second, they convince a chained giant to lower them by its hand. Especially early on, the mountain of Purgatory is one of the most physically taxing obstacles on Dante's journey. Canto IV of Purgatorio in particular focusing mostly on the difficulty Dante has climbing the extremely steep base of the mountain. |

Grandia has a man-made version in the form of an absurdly high wall that apparently spans the entire width of a continent, known as "The End of the World". Everybody else deems it an impassible barrier, but the game's hero instead just climbs over it (which takes several days). | |

You climb some high cliffs at two points in Final Fantasy VII. When you're doing it the second time you're constantly losing body heat, so you have to stop on ledges to heat yourself up occasionally. | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: "Mystery of a Thousand Moons": Anakin and Obi-Wan have to climb into and out of a deep canyon on Iego to retrieve the only known cure to the Blue Shadow Virus. They can't use the vines growing everywhere as a handhold because the plants are hostile. Anakin manages to shorten the inward journey by hitching a lift on some local flying wildlife, but there's no such luck on the way out. "The Citadel": A Republic strike team infiltrating the titular prison has to climb up a vertical cliff to a remote entrance freehand because it's too windy for jetpacks and electro-mines dotting the cliff make using grappling lines too dangerous. |

The stairs of Cirith Ungol in The Lord of the Rings (and the film of the book). Gollum leads Sam and Frodo up this way because the main entrance to Mordor is too well guarded and fortified for them to be able to sneak in. Unfortunately, there's something horrible at the top. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The climb from the Gates of the Moon to the Eyrie is steep, narrow and tremendously perilous. Any pretensions of bravery or saving face are swept aside by the treacherous side winds and the ever narrowing path. Because of these facts, the Eyrie is said to be impregnable from invasion by land. The Wall is an Ice Wall Of Insanity in the eyes of the wildlings. Nevertheless they climb it, using ropes, stakes and ice axes. Sometimes they fall too, as the Wall has a nasty habit of cracking off great sheets of ice in what may be a magical defense against those who attempt to breach it. |

One Piece The Drum Island Arc has Luffy, in the middle of a blizzard, carrying a sick Nami and an injured Sanji (with his mouth), forced to climb a nearly flat mountain that inclines directly upwards. This takes several episodes. At one point, Luffy's fingers explode in blood and he ends up sliding down a whole fraction of the mountain, blood flying everywhere, unable to even scream less Sanji drops from his mouth, until he finally regains his grip. This is truly one of the most painful scenes to see in the entire anime and easily proves Luffy's force of will. Over a decade before the start of the series, Fisher Tiger climbed the Red Line with nothing but his bare hands to attack the world capital Mariejois. The Red Line is a sheer cliff over 6 miles tall. |

There's only one way out of the isolated seaside village in Son, and that's by climbing the tremendous cliffs that surround it. Only one person has ever made it to the top, and he came back with a crippled foot. Claire becomes the second person to reach the top and the first to leave the community. Her training for, and the torturous climb itself, is the subject of nearly an entire section. | |
