Whoever built this are evil evil people!

Apparently its closed off now, and if you're caught on it you get a hefty fine.

Its boring for about the first minute, but keep watching, I was getting some pretty bad vertigo lol

The crazy part is you see the other people clipping onto the line and the guy with the camera isn't doing any of that. Just walking pretty fast right on by people.

Guys nuts! But it looks like an ultra cool place to see.

[LA_MERC_WBHighwind]

That would be awesome to go there and walk that. I think I would clip in though...

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

wonder if there are any statistics on the # of deaths of hikers on this thing? I'm sure alot of those holes were made while people were standing on it.


how the hell do you even make that pathway in some of those areas? and whoever did it has one hell of a liability when sections crumble and people fall through. Also, I don't think it's ADA compliant! lol

[LA_MERC_WBHighwind]

I did some research and apparently its in Southern Spain and was built in 1901. That leaves it up to your imagination as to how they built the thing... Its also the only way to get to some really awesome climbing rocks which is where those hikers were heading.

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

yeah, I had looked it up too. took 4 years to make it 1901 - 1905. It is at most 1 meter wide (roughly 3ft.) and 700ft. up in the air. in 1925 some king went across it and that's when it got it's current name. supposedly it was created as a trade route because a passage was needed across the gorges. between 2000 - 2001 at least 8 people fell / died and it was officially closed. but that has only seemed to make it more enticing for adveturist tourist.

Something like 80% of it does not have hand rails, over 20% of it has deteriated to the point where there is only a metal beam that can be used for crossing. The only way you will see me cross this thing is if I get bit by a radioactive spider and turn into spiderman.

[LA_MERC_Shadow]

That would be awesome to do, but I would definitely be clipping in. I like adrenaline but stupidity is another thing. That would be such a rush.

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

THat is some cool stuff. That do0d was booking through it all though. THere was some editing, but I do not think he was clipping in on anything.

[Daedelus]

hole cow. that was pretty narrow. i was thinking same thing i wouldnt be walking on something that had holes in the floor. i could imagine those holes where made by some fools weight ie falling threw. and no way i would cross the section with just that beam lol.
