I think I'd rather do that swim on the edge of Victoria Falls than this.

Looks fun! :D

The Stoat says that as soon as he got to the holes, he'd slip in his own doo-doo. :eek:

He hates heights when he isn't strapped into a runaway elevator.

I don't think this will be on our holiday plans anytime soon. :blush:

I think he was clipped. Sometimes the wire would come into view, and it would be moving.

Me, I'll pass.

:eek: Not me!

Great find, Kevy.

I'd love to see some old creaky film of this being constructed! Scary!

He may have been clipped at points (though done stealthily) but there is a point where he passes a clipped person in a way that strikes me as unlikely he was himself clipped.

And I've known some freeclimbers who wouldn't hesitate to do what he was doing without any safety equipment. They'd probably hold races to see who could get to the top fastest. With shoving allowed.

Looks like a fun route.

Pssh.
Totally fake.
He Photoshopped himself in.
You know, moving Photoshop?
One big giant gif?





I would totally hike there tomorrow.


:D



I would never, ever hike there.
Even with the chance of meeting hot hikers on the way.

How did he shoot this? How can you cross those rusty balance beams while shooting?


Wow.
Major butt-clenching vertigotastic action there, KevyBaby. I don't know how you shot that footage...




I did just think of a good idea for this trail. I'd send all my clumsy enemies to hike it.
:D

A coworker and I were discussing this and thought it would have been hilarious if at the end, he dropped the camera at a particularly hairy point. Dropped in such a way that you thought it was the photographer taking a dive. But then retrieving the tape might be a bit of a bugger (I would SO pay for a camera to pull it off though!).

This has been the hit video of my office today.

Most reactions are NO!-Effin-Way! and a few lone voices, Wow, I'm so there!
