Title: El camino del Rey, don't watch if your afraid of heights
Post by: MoeRon on May 25, 2008, 11:52:12 PM
Originally built in 1901, this walkway now serves as an aproach to makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro.

Dang, that gave me the willies!
Funny that my acrophobia doesn't kick in while flying, only when looking down from tall buildings or paths.

Holy crappola!  Absolutely terrifying.  No way would I dare go 10 feet on that path.  I can go up in airplanes fine, but no deal on climbing such ground-connected terrors.  Why and how in the world was that thing ever constructed?

Weird I love to fly but my acrophobia doesnt hit me when I look down...but when I look up I get all dizzy and weak in the knees.....go figure

doesnt look to bad, that path is 3 feet wide and if you look, theres a wire on the cliff.

3 feet is more than enough space to walk comfortably, regardless of how high it is.

that hole in the path at 6:26 looks a bit tricky though  :(

Yeah except the guy wasn't connected on the safetyline and the pathway already had collapsed in several places.

Those guys walking there have a deathwish no way around it.
