[Closed] Cliff path? No thanks.

I wont be buying a season ticket

Rode that last year

Thanks for that. Anyone got any ideas about how I should now get my testicles out of my stomach?

Doing it is one thing. Doing it whilst holding a video camera in one hand.. 😯

**** me, I've got vertigo looking at the video!

Almost too embarrassed to admit I had trembling knees at certain points on Crib Goch...

I'm getting the "If you were to die..." advert on the right when I watch this.

massively sweaty palms here for me. That's exactly the sort of stuff that gives me the heebies.

Mummy I'm frightened. 😥

No chance.

if you put 10k in front of me, and said I could have it if I did that path, i would walk away. no way....

i'd give it a go because I wanted to experience it, then get half way round and need airlifting off as I'd freeze with terror lol

Imagine building it in the first place

I'd do it, but I'd be making sweet lurvve to mother earth immediately after I got back on horizontal ground.

I fail to see the problem with that. That planking must be at least 10 inches wide. Lots of space.

Mind you, I'd be tempted to base jump it if I went on it.

Easy.

like the last speech "i should probably use two hands, catch you later"

I could handle that much more than the radio mast vid.

Given enough absinthe I'd walk it.

...for how long though...

I like the CCTV camera mounted on the rock, i wonder if it has caught many you've been framed moments.

Oh Dear God! That made me feel sick just watching it!!

It depends how much absinthe I'd've had. Not long though I suppose.

My large intestine is in a tight sheepshank.

Ooooof.

Disappointed. Thought he was going to ride a bike along it.

AWSUM

I hate it when i open these threads, the video is blocked, and i can see lots of intesting comments.

WHAT IS IT!?

is it that video of Kings Pathway?

It's a path in the Himalayas that goes across a sheer rock wall and around a big bluff using nothing but a few pegs bashed into the rock and some planks between you and a stupefying void.

true that radio mast vid was nuts

Back in a minute. I think I need to go have a poo after watching that

I'd have to chop down my handlebars ([i]a la[/i] the fakingers), but otherwise, no problem. 😀

Nuh-uh, I would have an insatiable urge to let go & jump!

seriously. f***. right. off. 😯

that is my absolute stuff of nightmares. Oahahaaahhaooo I got the shivers. 😳

"Whoopsy Daisy"

Doesn't look too bad *ahem*

Its not that scary. There is a safety guide all the way so you just have to clip in and then fall off a few times and (hopefully) bounce around a few times then it does not feel half as scary. At least that is what I used to do when I was climbing and I really was afraid of heights.

I thought glupton was going to do it with his kiddy trailer. 🙁

Nah, it's in [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hua ]China[/url]

It's via ferrata line - quite safe as you can clip-in to the cable with a braking device on a short leash. What a terrific position to be in! I'd want to do it with someone who knew the route though. I'd be worried about wood rot. In the Alps they often just sink iron bars into the rock at step intervals. even scarier but they don't rot.

Is he clipped in?

People talking about how safe it is - I don't reckon the video maker is clipped in, and most locals don't bother by the sound of things. Not sure it's really via ferrata in the european sense, those chains are primarily for grabbing hold of apparently and it doesn't look stunningly well maintained either.

Interesting and well written account of going up it about halfway down this page - http://www.ssqq.com/archive/vinlin27d.htm

These steps are elsewhere on the path btw - anyone fancy riding them?

Makes this look easy. (mute to avoid crap music)

Hi op and welcome to the internet.

Those steps are nuts.
