Care to walk El Camino del Rey?

"Originally built in 1901, this walkway now serves as an approach to makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro."

It's in Spain.

Video of a long walk here ---> http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1438490562

Made my palms sweat.

1. Wow--that was beautiful, but nerve-racking. Thanx for posting. nt

[eleny]

2. Yeah, especially those hair raising areas with just the rails

I also like watching his shadow roll up the steps like water.

Interesting that everyone he passed along the way was alone.

[Mist]

3. Watching him place his feet along a 3" beam to get past large areas

of non-existent walkway--yow.

4. that's when my palms began to sweat

i've driven over independence pass here in colorado many times. it's winding and narrow and there are curving stretches with guard rails that are very old. just low, short lengths of concrete to let you know where the edge is. but watching his shoes in this video was absolutely hair raising.

7. One of the most chilling videos I 've ever seen

How did he get those shots and stay on the trail? Thanks for posting, this is fascinating. I've sent to to family and friends.

8. I've been wondering that myself

Looking at his shadow I don't see evidence of a camera worn on his head. And the camera work is so smooth.

9. I would SO not do that!

whew

10. Boy, that was really neat.

I just happened to have been listening to Ennio Morricone's "Ecstasy of Gold" on my I-pod and it worked perfectly.

[eleny]

12. I found the music on You Tube and gave a listen

Wow, that would be perfect! I'll try it out together later. Thx so much.

[lumpy]

11. Thanks for the thrill. OMG !

My heart is thudding.

[eleny]

16. breath in breath out breath in breath out

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Absolutely incredible! I would have been dead a minute into that walk,

I'm That clumsy! I wish I knew what video camera was used. The resolution was beautiful!

Thanks for sharing it!!!!

:hi:

[eleny]

18. I'm that way, too

At first I thought it was scary enough because upon walking down you would always see the ravine or canyon floor way below. But then he walked those rails with no place to hold onto. Oh noes!

Like my DH commented - how did they build it?!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. The only ones I could see building it were satyrs. Half goat half human.

Yikes!

[trof]

19. The coronary would have gotten me.

:scared:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

20. I would have fallen off before the coronary! ;
