What's the deal? I have seen gnarly misspelled twice this week, I probably haven't heard the term since the 80s.
I noticed that too.

You guys are more adventurous than I am. 
I won't land at any airport where a go-around is impossible.
But then I'm still a pretty low-time pilot.
But then I'll be surprised if more hours will change my mind on that.

Pattern Altitude
Mainstream lay media thinks that an airport with a single runway, no precision approach into the prevailing wind, sloping terrain below, and office buildings off to the left, is a recipe for disaster.
Actually, just a five-story parking garage.
Yeah there's a car rental place right by that building. I had to let my wife handle the rental so I could gawk at the landing traffic.
Note the LOOOONG displaced threshold on the runway though. I don't see that as dangerous.

In reality, Oshkosh in the third week of July is the world's most dangerous airport.
I doubt that, the safety record for Airventure isn't that bad.

Tied Down
Why? It's a fairly long runway at 7100' and pattern altitude is 10,500. It sits on top of a mesa, which makes it look dramatic, and it has a downhill slope to the middle from both ends (better than the opposite!), but hasn't shown to be particularly dangerous.

Touchdown! Greaser!
I wouldn't call Telluride dangerous, but it is more challenging than SAN.

Depends on what you're flying, I suppose. If I can't get my 182 down and stopped in 7100' I've got very serious personal problems win airspeed control.

I think it has more to do with the stuff between the headphones. Too many people have hot-dogged it in there and built the case for the EMAS. I landed there today in the Baron with s tailwind gusting to 18. I still used only half the runway.

Oh yeah. That's where they do the zoom climbs. Very dangerous!
