Incredible walkway

[Deleted]

This walkways is enough to bring out my fear of heights big time!

I like heights but, having viewed the video from start to finish, I see that the walkway is desperately in need of repair so I'm not sure that I would attempt to walk it. At least there is a steel wire fixed into the rock for those who have to hang on.

There's a bit of the video were there is no real floor, just a metal pole of sorts. How the heck did he get over that and carrying a camcorder too?

I didn't see the steel wire fixed into the rock, that could explain it. I couldn't walk it, simply because I don't like heights at all.

What an amazing path though.

I had a dream about this walkway yesterday. Oh no...

It is very very scary. I noticed the walker went over the broken bits quite quickly unless he speeded up the film. I'm not sure whether I'd go over quickly or slowly (probably quickly). Imagine slipping!

I've done 4 scary walks in my life....two in the Swiss alps and two in Upper Mustang. On one of them I preferred to sit on the back of a horse who picked his way more surely than I would have. Very frightening and we were going uphill at 15,000ft too.

This one, near Crans-Montana in Switzerland, isn't bad either, i think. Haven't walked it yet and don't intend to if I can avoid it:



A slightly less frightening one:



The same again, beautiful balcony:


I couldn't walk there:


Still, they are being kept in good repair...

I can't believe the guy is running it the first one you posted, Annie. Incredible.

Yes the scenery is very beautiful.

I couldn't walk any of them. And yet, I've driven over very mountainous roads many times, both in winter and summer, some with very steep drops...
