Yikes!!!
 
This is probably more appropriate in the You Tube thread, but I found it very intoxicating to watch.

Originally built in 1901, this walkway now serves as an approach to Makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro.
Watch the whole video: it starts off slow but has some real butt-clenching moments.

Can you imagine being one of the people that created some of those holes?

Hell no!

Well, with the clipline I wouldn't hesitate. But yeah, some of the free walking stuff I'd not do.

I wonder if he's considered a prick for intentionally standing right on the edges of holes since that just promotes making them bigger.

Pretty cool though. Reminded me of a level map in an FPS. Maybe from Half Life.

:eek: um,yeah......no

BarTopDancer 05-27-2008 09:19 PM

Oh hell no.

Beautiful view though.

I thought there were way too many people to encounter on this trail for it too seem that remote or dangerous - needed some sun bleached bones and barbed wire.

The trail seemed fine until I got to a hole. I got the whole tingly feet thing happening at that point and decided I wouldn't be able to do this. Sorry to disappoint.

Deebs 05-27-2008 10:44 PM

Nope.

No, thank you.

Not having a bit of that.

Yes, the views were nice; but not to-die-for kind of nice.

I don't generally have much of a fear of heights but the end of that video made me clench up a few times. Wow.

Morrigoon 05-28-2008 12:35 AM

Yeah, that whole not putting rebar in the concrete thing... eesh.

I find it somewhat unbelievable that nobody's gone back to do some repair work. I mean, sure the path would be less exciting, but given that some sections are just flat out not there, I'd think the risk kinda too great.

Also video boy here didn't seem to be doing the carabiner thing like some of the people he encountered along the trail. Oh, and crossing the pole sections while still carrying a fvcking camera!

Not ME!!!
