So while many of peoples rushed out at midnight to get into the world of Skyrim, to begin doing epic quests, long dungeons, fighting dragons, and wooing womens.

I bought Skyrim with the only intention to find out of Bethesda was telling the truth..."If you know from our previous titles that you can walk to the top of that mountain." - "This is the tallest mountain in Skyrim the Throat of the Wold" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xwboyafbwc&hd=1&t=47s

Well Bethesda challenge accepted. At level 5 I embarked on what would then become a 2 and a half hour climb. (Real Life Time, Days in Skyrim).

While I don't agree you can "Walk right up to the top." is a far stretch cause it took a lot of glitch jumping on invisible walls. I can say that I hit the peak...I was so high up that even at this level of scale realism kicks in...the dense clouds/snow is so thick you can't see 5 inches in-front of you.

Then like every great man would do...I planted the FOR AMERICA! Flag....and sprint jumped right off the top...and fell to the funnest ragdoll painful death I've seen so far. Far Beating the Giants.

I received no Achievement for this feat of endurance...=[ But I can assure you I am the first person in the WORLD to do this. I'd appreciate some Reddit love if you enjoyed this. I'll try to find something else unique to do in the game now...hrmmm...what to do.

NOTE: I took the picture on the highest "stable" ground point of the mountain you can go about 50ft higher but you are on a slope and just slide down. You can not actually stand on the tippy top as it is too Vertical on all sides...trust me I tried...for about 45min.

I had already done this but you probably finished first. Nice pics though.

lol, I was going to do the same exact thing, but I had to work Friday, so I did not get it at midnight .

I wanted to be the first, but I knew by this time someone would have done it already.

Yeah I got the game late...but everyone I've been watching is all rush leveling...too worried about their MMO mindset of "must hit max level" when this game is a far cry from an MMO ...its meant to be taken slowly...to be loved and polished...its just one of those games you don't force yourself through you let yourself just flow through it...

I am finding myself spending more time trying to pick off Hawks from 3000 yards than worrying about leveling. (BTW this is insanely hard)

Or finding out that yes if you shoot a dragonfly with an arrow it will die...like...its just the little details that make Bethesda games so great.

There was most likely another random who will never see your post who did it before you

Always happens.

Uhh, theres steps on the other side of the mountain at Evarstead

but the guy did this on livestream on the 10th. @__@

Developers probably did this during beta.

If its anything like past Elder Scrolls games you'll get to a point where you can just levitate up to the top, or god forbid flying mount up there.

It's not really going to super special. But its a feat done at a very low level none the less.
