Searched and couldn't find...

Incredible footage of some guy in an abandoned Hydroelectric Plant

Watch the whole thing...lol

Some info on Wiki:

Add some planks of wood where the beams are and we have a rad RC rally course.

crazy

[J____]

i would shit my pants and fall over.

[LiquidTurbo]

DAMN.

[akalic]

my hands were sweating during 2:56

[Berzerker]

Looked like the guy had a climbing harness on and was wearing climbing shoes. That line that was traversing allows you to clip in and just pull your beaner along. I would totally walk that.

Reminds me of Prince of Persia or Assassins Creed though.

Berz out.

If you read the wiki page it says that the path is officially closed and that nobody knows the strength or that cable and there is no upkeep on it.

Also, when he walked past the two guys, I think they were "strapped" into the cable, but the way he got around them made it seem like he wasn't. Also, he seems too smooth the entire time to have been strapped it. I would love to see how he filmed that

7:00 and 7:50 do it for me

That being said, I would love to do that. Looks like it would most definitely give me a wicked rush.

[Berzerker]

^^ It did look smooth but he was also walking fairly slow so unclipping and reclipping a beaner would be fairly quick and easy. No upkeep is a bit sketchy but I'm sure people still test it and it's used with enough frequency that any severely unsafe parts are probably fixed by people that use. The fact he even encountered other people show's its probably more used than you would think. Maybe he had a helmet cam?

Berz out.

[GabAlmighty]

Yes, that's true. I also noticed that he was walking on the outside edge of the path almost the entire time.

And you are probably right, what i've come to think/see/believe is that rock climbers are usually pretty good about keeping up with the upkeep of their "runs".

I agree with the helmet came theory but some of the instances it looks he's sticking the camera/his head out over the edge. If I wasn't strapped in I wouldn't be doing that standing up, too easy to lose your balance.

Either way, I think we can agree the trail looks super badass :thumbsup:

[gearshifter]

holy shit... i shat brix

[Berzerker]

Yep agreed! I would most definately hike that!

Berz out.

[adc]

holy shit, im shitting bricks for him watching that

[BMW135i]

I nearly shit my pant just watching this video on pc. Sweating like crazy already.

[77civic1200]

He was hand holding that camera for sure. He had the camera held to whichever side made it look the sketchiest. There are a number of times where the camera cuts corners over railings and such that show what I mean.

I wonder what that trail looked like when it was new, and how many people used it per day for its original purpose?

[Greenstoner]

too intense

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

holly shit this video gave me the shivers.


god damn!!!!!


i wonder how many ppl died from this

[124Y]

Holy shit! :eek:
That looks hella intense!

[_Hotsauce_]

I'd do it, Its just balance more then anything else.

[nosaj]

dayum...i was sweating from just watching the clip already....lol

[Volvoman]

reminds me of Half Life

[jtanner_]

Just finished watching it... that whole area looks amazing... what a rush

[keitaro]

Dan Osman Solo Speed Climbing. No ropes, and climbing as fast as you can.

check out 1:10

Now that is an adrenaline junkie sport. Unfortunately Dan Osman died, but not from climbing, but from a controlled free fall. :(

[jpark]

holy fuken shit

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

my palms are fucking wet


HOLLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!

[slammer111]

Caminito del Rey's been posted on RS Off Topic before, several times, including once by me. :lol

Looks like he's doing a different section from 90% of the other vids on Youtube (the section at the beginning). There are missing sections of the "tourist" sections which are crazy dangerous (it chops to the regular section around 2:30), but this is the next level. Holy crap. :eek:

[seakrait]

i fucking hate heights.

this guy has balls the size of the moon.

according to the wiki:
In 1921 King Alfonso XIII crossed the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce and it became known by its present name.

wow. even the king did it (though i suppose it was new back then). but still, only a meter wide walkway from certain death on the rocks below.

[hotong]

w0w fuck that is fast
