Rice? Damn dude, much disrespect. That looks amazing and is something I've never heard of or seen before. Do they offer chopper rides to the top to walk around or anything? I love the waterfalls coming off the side and such. It looks like something out of a fantasy world.

Yes, Roraima could be a place for dragons or where the World of Warcraft meets Jack and the Beanstalk by Roger Dean - whatever fantasy it brings to mind, I'm very happy that you guys like it too.
A helicopter is really cheating, isn't it? To relish the drama of the place you can drive through the jungle, park your car, then hike for three days to reach it. Famous mountain climbers, Joe Brown and Don Whillans climbed it in 1973, but hated the experience, partly because "the approach was a nightmare of swamps and mud, swarming with every kind of strange creature that ever bit, stung or crawled." Unable to get up the vertical- or to be accurate, overhanging- face in one day they had to lash themselves into hammocks - only to be crawled over by scorpions during the night. But mountain climbers always do things the hard way and there is apparently an easier route up called The Ramp that hikers use today. So don't be lazy, DWV, get those boots on!

Roraima - 6
Yunnan - EDIT: Get a load of "The Ramp". Doesn't look so bad, besides being infested with terrifying creatures.

I'm voting Yunnan because it looks way cooler and I feel like being edgy today.
Roraima - 6 Yunnan - 1
