Actually that looks kinda fun, provided you take sufficient precautions.

I can't say you didn't warn me. I watched that holding onto the edge of the table. My problem is not heights, per se, but a feeling of insecurity. I can look over cliffs, but not climb ladders.

I got much better on ladders by using desensitization training. I'd climb up till I was nervous, then go a step down until I was comfortable, and stay there for a few minutes until I relaxed. Then I'd put the ladder away & repeat the lesson another day only going higher when it felt comfortable. I still don't LIKE ladders, but I can work on them now for quite a while before I start to tense up and have to get down.

That's how I learned to swim too. I nearly drowned when I was a kid but I was determined to learn to swim when I got older. The fear is still there when I enter the water now but I can swim and I've even gone snorkelling and diving. It's odd to be able to enjoy something and be afraid at the same time.

Oh, yes, that's how I was on my one holiday alone-- scared to death, but enjoying it, too.

AHHHHH....that was terrifying. Fascinating, but terrifying. I kept leaning away while clinging to the table leg. That guy is CRAZY.

*ok, getting my heart rate down to normal.*

It certainly does get that adrenaline going.

Those people are INSANE. My god, trusting your life to a bit of wire, a rusty bit of iron, and the tread on your shoes?

Until veiwing this I would have said I have no problem with heights, I was quite happy leaning over the fence at Beachy Head and going up The Tower at Blackpool and looking down was no problem. But they were both safe, they had fences and Handrails I fely secure. The only difference between that path way and cimbing Everest is you don't need Oxygen for that pathway, both are dangerous, no way would I do that climb, but it was enthralling to watch.

You have the same attitude to heights as I do. A fence and a strong floor are Good Things.

Definitely, give me a sense of security and I am happy at any height, including 30,000 feet in a plane, but that ramshackle path is a death trap.

AIEEEEEEEEE.....


...thud!

just kidding folks but that cameraman was nuts!!!

Good grief! Now, I quite enjoy heights, but that is just terrifying. Those holes in the path!!!!!! I'm surprised people are allowed to walk it.

I read a bit in the link. People are NOT allowed to walk it. They even blocked off both ends, but people climb over the blocked off bits and do it anyway. And some of them die.

And some of them die. This does not surprise me!

Yes, blocking off the ends or putting up signs would just make some people more determined to walk it.

Wow, that's amazing! I'd never walk in anything built out from a cliff though, especially with holes and gaps. I wonder how they built it.

That is pretty darned cool! It also had me going "eep!" a lot, but I felt considerably better once I realized there were safety ropes.
