I used to share the second video below with our scouts anytime they wanted to go on a more "challenging" hike. Us leaders usually threw up at the thought. The first one is newer, and much better film quality. Unfortunately his dubbed over narration in parts is awful and there is a little too much shaky-cam for most of us. Incredible. Someone would have to come get me. Link to original video: https://youtu.be/fcczjFRcVcU Link to original video: https://youtu.be/BBWgT3LbStE You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | ||

The first one she's clipped into safety lines. Great views. I would definitely do that with the safety of a harness and some quickdraws. I understand they have refurbished this route. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

Those are both videos of the trail before they refurbished it. It is much safer today with a brand new walkway above the older one. https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...2825635110194%29.jpg I would have done the original version when I was younger.

Here is a virtual tour of the new trail. Looks very safe now. I kinda would have wanted to do the old one, with protection. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

I'm with Elk on this one. I saw the older video years ago and it gave me the willies then, and still does. Especially the places where the guy walks the iron supports where the cement had crumbled away. That dude is nukkin' futz. | |||

The cute girl in the video? I'd probably have done it. I would have really been inspecting the line and anchors they were clipped in to, I already know the "path" is sketchy. The right mental approach is that of rock climbing and not "hiking" though IMHO. No, I would never "hike" that trail, but I'd "climb" on it with protection. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

Wait, what? |
I’d have done it with the safety line with no problems. Without, I’d have to give it some thought. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

In my younger days I'd probably have done it. The older I get the less agile I seem to be when scrambling around, the less sure of footing, etc. I did my first canyoneering at 63, now at 75 I'm not sure I'll go again. ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

I’d fall into the category of would have done it given the opportunity. However, I would not have used a personal anchor system made of quick draws attached to my belay loop /Facepalm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "deserves" ain't got nothin to do with it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
