There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Mike, I hate to tell you this, but there is a famous one in China and it puts that one to utter shame. It is so dang scary (for me to watch on CNN and then on YouTube) that I had nightmares of it. The cliffs were so dang high.... Its very famous in China. Wish I could remember the name. Maybe Feng knows..

It's on my list of things to do before I die.
I've seen that one in China...It has a restaurant or something at the end. It's definitely more breathtaking, but it is well maintained. The Camino Del Rey is closed off and collapsing (some parts are completely collapsed), which makes it more of a challenge.

That China one is indeed very cool, never saw that before, but it has handrails (chains). Even I would possibly consider trying it, although passing somebody must be interesting. But the other? Yikes!
How long is the Chinese one? Anyone know?

Nah...Its not for me...I get dizzy just looking at the video....:isadizzy:
I can't find the actual name, but I vaguely remember seeing Samantha Brown, or one of those female Travel Channel hosts hike it. There are a few short rappels, and there are guides to help you along the way. A little too touristy for my tastes.
On another note, there are several Via Ferrata in North America that can give you a cool semi-technical climbing experience. Whistler, BC is supposed to have a top notch one (Also on my list).
