That looks awesome. And the main lesson learned from this project? One word: rebar.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have the nerves to film that while I was walking it

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have the nerves to walk it! The first spot where you need to walk on the steel brace with nothing but air below you would be my turning around point.

Clip in to the cable and wear Depends. When I see corpses or skeletons below me, that's my sign to turn back. I hear there are some sections of Mount Lushan that are like this, but wood. And the Chinese climb it in Tennis Shoes.
Iceman: You up for this one, Maverick?
Maverick: Just a walk in the park, Kazansky.

If I were a little closer to Spain and it were still open I would be all over that. As it is some Via Ferreta routes in Italy are sketchy enough.

My knees are shaking and I'm sitting in front of my laptop.
I did a little research on the subject and found this one in Zion National Park

I wish my plane flights were that empty. Usually they are cramming people into overhead bins ...

First I'd have to develop a pretty close friendship with the guy that attached the cables to the rock wall. I'm supposing OSHA has not visited this site?

Walking that is no big deal.
Now building it, that's where the huevos kick in.

Just read the guy who filmed this, Daniel Ahnen, died while climbing Everest on March 2, 2011.

OK - as crazy as that was think about some of those washed out sections on NK - the drop off and exposure were pretty wild too. I was kinda shocked at some of those!! But I agree - when I would have to start walking along those iron bars - uhhhh nope - I am a wuss and I am turning right around.
I do look forward to Angels Landing tho......

I'm thinking this would go under the "Climbing" category. Don't watch if you're afraid of heights!
