This is just downright crazy. Dunno if you could pay me to try it.

[tonyvu]

@ 1:30 & 2:28 .........O_o

[flagella]

W T F... how the hell.... what if you fall off???? gg haha..

This is a crazy old repost. ;)

Yeah it's in pretty bad shape. And yes, people do die on it every year if I remember correctly.

Another crazy one is Cliffside Plank Path on Huashan, China. Kinda wish I tried, but it's the same deal, except it's planks against a vertical cliff (you hang onto chains with your hands) and it's a 1km drop if you slip and fall.

[RollingStone]

Holy shit!

[Ronin]

Hell yeah, I'd do that...although my sense of balance probably isn't good enough for those bare beam parts.

You could just...y'know...clip yourself in with a rope?

[StylinRed]

even Indiana Jones would think its stupid to go through that

those that are fat and have poor balance, wouldnt they just fall right off?

[Kim Jong Un]

intense!

[VrrM604]

i always wonder how long/dangerous it would be for the people that actually made the path

[Marco911]

It's like you're Gordon Freeman in Half-Life!

[J____]

the fuk. I did the Kalulau trail in Kauai and thought it was pretty intense at times. this is nuts. fuk at least the Kalulau trail had some of the most breath taking views in the world, this isnt even worth it.

but it still has nothing on this

I believe you can be hooked in while climbing that trail.

I've been to 4 continents in my life. Now I just want to hike some of the craziest trails I can find. I've hiked some good mountains in Australia, but it seems nothing comes close to that Spanish and Chinese trail.

[twitchyzero]

some crazy indiana jones/uncharted shit haha.

if you can be hooked then i'd totally do it..but it seems like it's only for certain sections (less risky ones too?)..big plus is the awesome view.

but honestly i'd be more worried about rocks/debris falling on me..i believe that's why there's all the voids and holes in the trail?

the chinese one looks more thrilling..just knowing the trail, hooks and harness are proabably weaker and more accident-prone :D

[Greenstoner]

wow.... those chinese made trail kinda scares me ...

Heard so much about Huashan in Chinese novel but never know what it is like... finally i see it on youtube today, sort of.. :D

Now i believe in Kung-Fu hahaha, how the fuck did people made the first trail anyways ...

[slammer111]

^ The problem with the Chinese trails (especially Huashan) is that many of them are built directly along steep mountain ridges, and many sections have NO railing. Also whoever cut the steps obviously didn't factor in step size. Half the steps on that thing are designed for midgets. I slipped and fell a couple of times (this was in September, light rain), once down about 3-5 steps, and remember a few sections where I went on all 4s in an effort not to slide/fall off the mountain. There was also this one metal staircase that was so steep and HIGH, I remember taking it one step at a time like a toddler, and using both hands.

My buddy and I also did Mount Tai (Taishan), and that one was way more packed but nowhere near as difficult.

Of course, the fact that many of these trails are bi-directional doesn't help.

Anyone on RS done the "Soldier's Path" (bypasses the gondola, like the Grouse Grind) up Huashan? That was closed the day we hit it up.

And speaking of Huashan, we came across this "monument".. *cough* Anyone know the history behind it? This thing was maybe 6m high.

This was the plaque in front. "Hua Shan Summer Root". Huh??

Can someone translate the Chinese on this thing? My simplified sucks.
