Champion  10471    Dallas, TX |  Subject: The World's Most Dangerous TrailI would pass, but I'm sure many of you would do this! I particularly love the person doing it in their sandals.

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: The World's Most Dangerous Trail I would so do that. But opt for the safety gear... AND be a little nervous. Who the hell originally climbed that to build a temple? That's just crazy.

Elite 3290  Oliver, BC, "Wine Capital of Canada" | Subject: RE: The World's Most Dangerous Trail I'm curious if that is a one way plank walk. I'd hate to have to give way to opposing traffic. What am I talking about, I wouldn't do that part of the hike regardless! |

Elite 6387 | Subject: RE: The World's Most Dangerous Trail Ya, I saw that yesterday. Pretty awesome. My first thought was... well they has to haul the materials to make the tea house in the first place. Crazy. |

What am I talking about, I wouldn't do that part of the hike regardless! There is another article on this same trail that mentioned exactly that. It is a one way plank with landings in some areas. If you come up on someone going the opposite way one of you has to go back to the nearest landing to let the other pass by. I would so totally do this hike/climb. Somewhere at the top I imagine there must be a bridge like the bridge in Indiana Jones and the last Crusade. Invisible, but there if you *believe*. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: The World's Most Dangerous Trail What do they say? It's location, location, location. I assume they are not banking on general street traffic for business...

Extreme Veteran 799 | Subject: RE: The World's Most Dangerous Trail I got queasy just looking at the pics. I can't imagine holding onto a chain trying to find a toe hold at that height. |

Wow, there is that part where you have to climb up. That would be freaky climbing back down. |

Elite 3091 Spokane, WA | Subject: RE: The World's Most Dangerous Trail Originally posted by jmcconne I got queasy just looking at the pics. I can't imagine holding onto a chain trying to find a toe hold at that height. You and me both. I'm not particularly afraid of heights, but no way I could do that. It's like watching video of the guys free climbing--gives me the heebie-jeebies. |

Master 2264 Sunbury, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: The World's Most Dangerous Trail Originally posted by Poupen OK, I have to put this one on my to do list. It does look scary but exciting at the same time. There have to be some confirmed deaths from people who fell off this. It looks like something that a lot of tourists do that aren't as experienced as they probably should be. |

Champion 10020 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: The World's Most Dangerous Trail I wouldn't do that in the US, let alone China where I saw enough questionable construction situations to make me wary of even the simplest things. They have a different standard there. |
