Shocked
Looks fun, like something out of a video game.

jeeeeez................ that vid needed a health warning! 
 
We do a fair ammount of hiking, and most of the time I'm ok with heights........... but that made my toes curl, I guess it's the fact that you could actually plunge to a stony death........... I wouldn't even show this to the beloved.............. urgh! ...........
 
Have you done this hike KoS?

Err, well I used to be very very physically fit, but even then, hell no would I do hike that for free. Now that I'm about say on the lower half of fitness between a fitness freak and an obese couch potato, only for an extremely massive sum of money. But i've probably got a better chance of getting rich winning the lottery than surviving that walk.

That's a great walk.
 
I used to love this kind of stuff when I was younger, but now even watching the video scares me.

"This will be nothing," I told myself.
 
I watched the video.
 
I'd do it for girls. Maybe.

I'd hike it if I couldn't plunge to my death. So, I guess I wouldn't hike it.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

No, but I will certainly check it out the next time I'm in Spain (which hopefully will be soon).
Supposedly it is being restored, so it'll probably be in better condition.

Hm. I guess I could do that.

But only for girls.

Maybe for fun if I was in an odd mood on the day.
