Wow.
I was enjoying it until they got to the parts with just the supports remaining. Vertigo from a freaking video!
Dude
Where is this? Incredible place. Like your own real Indiana Jones adventure.

I would have no problem at all with this if I was latched onto that support wire. My wife would probably watch from the ground

That's insane. Even worse, the dude is doing it while holding a video camera!

I chuckled when I read that and thought "Yeah, right!" I'm out at 01:41. By 2:00 my palms were sweating. By 04:30 I just about couldn't watch any more. Outstanding video quality, BTW. That guy has more guts than brains.

Did you notice the guy in the green T with the two safety lines about 4 or so minutes into the video, whenever he would get to a place where the safety cable was anchored into the side of the mountain he would connect a secondary safety harness/clip prior to disconnecting the first safety harness/clip?
To me ... I *could* be wrong, but to me it almost looks as though the camera person is not using any safety lines for a couple of reasons, first I never did see any movement from the safety cable on the mountain that may have indicated this person was connecting/disconnecting a safety harness and second the movement of this person looked too fluid to be stopping for connecting or disconnecting of any harness.
Video editing may play a role in this train of thought though. Either way, count me out on this hike.

Cool video Rick. I say do it. Of course we must invite Indiana Jones to accompany. Oh the life of the thrill seeker.
