:22yikes:Not for those with a fear of heights
This is known as the scariest foot-path in the world! Originally built in 1901,this walkway serves as an approach to
Makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro in Spain's Andalucia.
I can"t imagine how the man with the video camera made it to the top.
How could he see where he was going? There are holes in the cement walkway! Yikes!

Of course, if I take this trail it would be while carrying my two dogs -- one under each arm......
My heart races just watching this!! Who in the world would attempt this?
Thanks for posting this video.

Thanks for the video, I nearly broke the arms of my chair watching it. I also clicked on the bike off road video and think it was even more white knuckle watching.

One would have to be an adrenalin junky to take that path. It appears to be crumbling beneath his feet. One time I attempted to take the mule ride into the Grand Canyon. One quarter of the way down I jumped off after the mule's hoofs kept stumbling near the edge of the narrow path. I refused to get back on and the mule had to continue on since they are trained to follow one another. I was so much happier on my own two feet and completed the journey to the bottom and back up to the rim. :MOJE_whot: One of my reoccurring dreams is being caught on a little ledge with no way off. This video has reawakened the fear of heights in me, now I need therapy.

I was just thinking while watching this. It would be my luck to climb all the way to the top, or wherever it goes to, and then I would find out there is a tram that you can ride. Just think too, once you get to the top, you gotta turn around and come back down.

Ok, I must be weird. I actually thought the path looked exhilerating and very secure-- until the camera reached the top and the path was crumbling. I certainly would not have walked across that thin steel beam!
This is NOT on my bucket list of things to do :faint:
