This is the ancient construction route to a reservoir, long closed to the public.

Terrifying!

I think I have altitude sickness just from watching that video.....

Not even close to scary compared to Huashan in China.

It’s been a pilgrimage tourist attraction since the 4th Century.

You supposed to climb it at night so you can see the sunrise.

People die all the time on the route, but China not being the most safety conscious of places still keeps the route open.

FYI, you pay extra for the safety harnesses.

Here’s some videos

OMG, I had to quit watching half way through.

a) Are there lots of bones and chunks at the bottom of people who slipped?

b) What’s the name of that brain chemical that squirts and makes my toes tingle when I see the camera guy put one foot after another on that skinny rail?

Just imagine how the guys that built the damn thing felt - or mebbe they were prisoners with death sentences anyway.
