Hey big guy - bring Maisy on THIS trail!

Maisy would do it but it would be without me, I don't mind heights but that's crazy !!!!:eek:
 
Has anyone hiked Angel's Landing in Zion National Park? It's not quite as crazy as the trail in that video, but there are parts where you're on a sandy rock ledge about 18" wide with a chain nailed into the rock to hold onto and many hundreds of feet to fall just off the trail. It freaked me out something fierce. I didn't quite make it all the way. Vertigo is a scary thing. That camera guy has some guts.
 
just think how difficult it would be to build something like that. it just blows my mind
 
holy crap thats cool


I only heard one "Hi", this confirms those previous threads that there are people out there that ignore, or hardly acknowledge a friendly salute.
 
I've seen that one before. Reminds me of an adventure computer game. Imagine monsters jumping out. [Select weapon] {{{{{{{{{fire}}}}}}}}}}. I need clean underwear just watching, let alone trying to walk it.
 
It is in Spain. It was a service road to a dam - but has been in ill repair for 50 or so years.
I think there's a massive difference between a near-collapsed service road built for only a couple of people to use and a "scary trail." The makers of that video don't seem to know the difference between the two, and promote it falsely as a trail.

I've been up on high catwalks that would scare the snot out of many folks: I wouldn't call that a "corridor."

Those guys could have just as easily posted a video of a tight rope walker and call it "the scariest bridge on earth." That doesn't make it something it's not. Call it what it is: a better name for this video is "we're morons; want to see?"

(this is not a criticism of Talfuchre: it's a criticism of guys who take dangerous risks and promote it solely as proof of how brave they are)
 
I enjoyed watching..I kept waiting for the suprise ending of the "FALL" view!! that would have been crazy. I admit that the video gave me a rise in blood pressure. Gene

This is how I took it as well. Not really a hiking trail, more of a horrible place to take a stroll.
 
Reminds me of the first Half Life. Scary and somehow cool, but also illegal (6000-30000€ punishment) and lethal. I wouldn't go near that thing.
