Only way I'm going on this hike is if I can find two fat guys to follow ...
One to loosen any bad parts, the next to break loose the bad parts before I get there.

Sort of like the old adage about hiking in snake country
- first person wakes 'em up
- second person makes 'em mad
- third person gets bit

Wow... now that is a climb. The portions of the path that have fallen away would freak me out. I'd probably just turn around. haha.

omg..that made me feel sick.....

I'm curious if the guy taping was using a harness w/a clippy thing..at time you see the wire on the moutain moving..BUT if you saw the one of the guys he passed who had a harness on it took him a while to move his clip to the new wire..lol.
BUT this guy was just strolling along.>SCARY!

Didn't get to see the vidio, but it sounds like a lot of crazy and a little fun... nothing like living on the edge...

I can't remember where that one was right now - somewhere in South America, I think. I'll try to find it again. Meanwhile here is another site:

Check out the auto road 'Journado del Muerto' in Bolivia ...

OK, here we go
It was El Caminito del Rey in Spain
