The most dangerous place to camp in North America is by far the Great Sail Cliff on Baffin Island in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Only the most experienced climbers would even attempt to climb this cliff, and it can take weeks. Yes, that means that climbers must camp on the cliff face itself by driving anchors into the rock face and suspending their tents and gear thousands of feet in the air. When camping in these extreme conditions, any carelessness or false moves can mean a long fall and inevitable death.
