Route 66 · 23 December 2011, 01:31 AM

NO effing way would you get me on that trail!

DiamondJack · 23 December 2011, 01:32 AM

Unbelievable and the nonchalant way the guy just crosses those gaps in the path without even hesitating is incredible. Mountain goat or what

BogeyFree · 23 December 2011, 01:41 AM

What? No takers?? Geez..and here I thought all Rolex wearers were tough and brave...

bayerische · 23 December 2011, 01:43 AM

You have to be a bit crazy to walk there!

Art 1 · 23 December 2011, 01:47 AM

Okay, you go first and I'll be right behind you.........not???

I was wondering why everyone on the path was wering a huge backpack.... Then I realized they needed somewhere to carry all their spare underwear...

The pother roblem is you have to go back the way you came to get back to your car in the carpark!

Great video!
It is definitely for smart trekkers who know what their limits are. The wide-angle lens fools you a bit -
the walkway is 3' wide and straddles are common to get around the missing segments.

Walking unclipped is daring - and maybe irresponsible since first responders would need to collect
your body at the bottom of the gorge

n:

Here's a ground-level shot to give perspective to the drop-off

In the video, you can see a cable that the hiker/videographer attaches to, not that that's particularly comforting.

lakeros · 23 December 2011, 06:07 AM

I got sweaty hands just watching the video, no way this big lug is attempting that I would fall right through the cement :) Awesome view from the bottom.

HL65 · 23 December 2011, 06:30 AM

I'm in!! Love too also...

Grissom · 23 December 2011, 06:33 AM

You can see some of the people he passes are clipped - but he isn't.

Let me get my unicycle, I'll be there in 45 minutes!

That's one scary path, I can't even walk straight on sidewalks so I guess this is not for me...

Letsgodiving · 23 December 2011, 09:15 AM

That looks like a very cool place. I would love to check it out but I think would be hooking up at a couple of those spots.

They bult it to connect a hydroelectric power plant to materials (early 1900's) and if you youtube it you can find videos of helicopters having emergency transport people who have fallen out from the bottom....totaly unsafe. The government of spain "closed both entrances in 2000" but people are still going there today. looks crazy and the guy making this video is nuts not to at least be hooking in and yes not stopping when he comes to fallen sections. Wow just wow.

I don't know that he was attached to a cable. You see the other walkers stopping to clip/unclip at various points. This guy just keeps a walkin'.

And I suppose after awhile, you're just as dead falling 200 feet as you are falling a thousand. Although you have a longer time to contemplate life as you free-fall down from way up high.
