Not going there...
 
http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1438490562

Actually reminds me of some adventure games I played...where you died..:lol:

dsaundry 05-11-2008 08:21 AM

:lol:Even if I was so juiced on testosterone and beer I wouldn't do it.

WhoPoopWrasse 05-11-2008 12:00 PM

I don't care how pretty it is over there, I wouldn't try that if you paid me :lol:

mark 05-11-2008 03:40 PM

might want to get a little work done on the railings.

Lance 05-11-2008 03:57 PM

I Don't Think So! No Way! Not Me! Uh-uh!

CLINT 05-11-2008 04:08 PM

Oh man that looks sweet.I think th only thing that could top the trip up would be base jumping from the spot when hes looking over the river.That is something I want to do before I grow up.LOL.Clint

Chaloupa 05-11-2008 04:43 PM

My hands were sweating just watching him.....that is INSANE! NO WAY I would go there...not even a consideration....

CLINT 05-11-2008 05:01 PM

My wife said Im on my own.LOL.She says people are crazy for even thinking about it.Now to plan a trip to spain.Clint

I wouldnt be walking on that narrow path with the hole in the middle of the path :neutral: quite scary to say the least

Pan 05-11-2008 06:47 PM

I wouldn't be walking the path holding a camera either..although i think he had a helmet cam. My legs would be jello long before i got where he was. But i keep the drinks cold for when everyone got back :)

I wish i could go places like that...not being afraid of heights would allow me to see things i couldn't otherwise. :(

Here's another video of it that makes it look even worse

what amazes me is that people were able to BUILD that stuff there in the first place!

Delphinus 05-12-2008 06:30 AM

Wow, that is wild, wicked and unreal! It's so fantastic it's almost like watching a video game fantasy of some magical realm or something.

I almost want to try it. :lol:

If I had a death wish, I'd try it with my mountain bike. :lol: Ok, maybe not.

I had to do some reading up on this. Some interesting stuff... guess official access was closed off in 2000 due to, oh, who could have foreseen this, tourists dieing while attempting it.

Hello,

Thought it'd be safe since there's a cable until I saw 4 ppl died recently.

Whoever came up behind me would probably slip and fall in what I'd be leaving behind on the trail :eek:

I can only imagine how the lawyers would have a field day with that in North America.

Marlin65 05-12-2008 03:03 PM

There is lots of places that are like that here. Not the path per say.
A few that come to mind the top of the Chief what about the Chem it has a nice drop off if you step wrong.:wink: Plenty of ridge walks in the Northwest that have drop offs on both sides. That part up the Lions is not for the faint of heart either.

EmilyB 05-12-2008 09:22 PM

I'm not even doing so good at the game...

Delphinus 05-12-2008 09:28 PM

I can't even figure out how you're supposed to play it? I watch the little dude until he gets to the part where he stares at the broken aquaduct and all he does is stare at it...

EmilyB 05-12-2008 09:34 PM

Well go around and up into the other aquaduct. You can go in there and do something. But it doesn't seem to do squat for me ?

Parker 05-12-2008 09:48 PM

Rotate the gates then head out the door on the upper right.. I get stuck shortly after that.

Delphinus 05-12-2008 09:52 PM

How do you do all that? I couldn't find any instructions.. He gets to the pipe, and the only thing to get him going again that I can do is click the mouse, it doesn't matter where I click though he goes to the same place everytime..

Delphinus 05-12-2008 09:58 PM

Oh.. never mind, I'm starting to get it now. Man, this thing aint easy... :lol:

Delphinus 05-12-2008 10:36 PM

Ohhh ... I want my life back. This is insanely complicated!!!!!

EmilyB 05-12-2008 10:51 PM

No kidding, I want my simple boring existence. What taps are supposed to be closed anyway??

S.D 05-14-2008 08:56 AM

Even if my life depended on it, I would never be able to climb this due to the shear terror of thinking I was going to fall off the edge...I would have to jump and just get it over with at the beginning! I nearly fell off my chair watching the video and had to turn away a number of times!

I am always amazed how people can do such things.
