- LBUCHA, on 11/10/2009, -2/+41that's not a path! a path implies the ability to stroll. that thing is a death trap
- Joest23, on 11/11/2009, -2/+41Am I the only one that wants to know the keyboard alt-code for ◔̯◔ now?

- UniversalGuy, on 11/11/2009, -1/+22Hey I have an idea, next time put the video on youtube, so it doesn't have to buffer every 3 seconds.
Posting a 6 minute video on digg, and linking it to anywhere except youtube is a disaster. Digg eats a lot of bandwidth, and so do videos. put the two together...
Buffer....buffer....buffer....
Sigh - barney74, on 11/10/2009, -3/+23I think I just peed my pants a little.
- EverTheCynic, on 11/11/2009, -0/+19I had two distinct reactions to this video.
"Huh. Well that doesn't seem so bad. The path seems wide enough to be safe without a railing."
Skip ahead to first section of missing concrete...
"Well that was a short trip. I guess he'll have to turn around now that there's only a narrow metal WOAH what the hell is he doing?" - doktorrocket, on 11/11/2009, -2/+20"World's Scariest Path?" Only if you're afraid of heights. If instead you're afraid of widths, it's not so bad.
- digitalbuzz, on 11/11/2009, -0/+17I beg to differ. THIS is the world's scariest path.

(scroll midway down the page to the wood planks. F-that.) - Ebue1, on 11/11/2009, -2/+18ಠ_ಠ
- Alias1431, on 11/11/2009, -0/+16Totally pretended I was Gordon Freeman.
- orijimi, on 11/11/2009, -1/+15That's right, carry a camera while balancing on nothing more than a single, thin beam. Because you are to badass to do otherwise.
- InactiveUser, on 11/11/2009, -1/+14◔̯◔
What is he looking at?
ಠ_ಠ
Do I look like I give a *****? - Puppytwo, on 11/11/2009, -0/+11The camera was attached to his head...
- scotchw, on 11/11/2009, -0/+10 No, this dude seems to even shun the safety line other climbers are using. That is a crazy man.
But, that bit where the concrete has collapsed... I don't know....
At about 2.34, it almost looks like there was a frame or two skipped there.... right at the bit where he walks across the collapsed path with no safety line. - DanaG, on 11/11/2009, -0/+10Never mind walking it, imagine building it... in 1901.
I wonder how small they make cameras that record at or near IMAX resolution. It would be insane to have someone film an IMAX Theater version of that hike.
Probably not a good idea. Half the audience would get sick and the other half would fall out of their chairs. - aron1185, on 11/11/2009, -0/+9Nah, they aren't hurting anyone but themselves being up there. So who are we to tell another free person what they can and cant do.
Sure, I bet there would be a lot of legal issues involved if someone actually died. But, in my own little world, I say if you aren't causing harm to anyone else then it whatever floats your boat: Mountain climbing, sky diving, drugs, sex with prostitutes, pick your poison. - silvermario, on 11/11/2009, -0/+8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmDhRvvs5Xw
- jwe8k, on 11/11/2009, -0/+8I'm pretty sure I walked through that at some point when playing Half Life 1.
- Fleagleman, on 11/11/2009, -0/+8Can you make an interactive version? I wanted to go into that cave.
- xksi, on 11/11/2009, -2/+10This should be in MIrror's Edge.
- barney74, on 11/11/2009, -2/+10Wonder what the railing value in Tony Hawk Pro Skater be.
- airwalke, on 11/11/2009, -0/+6Same, I can't be the only one that kept expecting a headcrab zombie to pop out from behind one of those corners.
- chmpdog, on 11/11/2009, -1/+7getting down is the easy part...
- GoodKarma55, on 11/11/2009, -1/+6My feet and palms are sweating.
- tomservo51, on 11/11/2009, -1/+6old but still cool
- brittjacobs17, on 11/11/2009, -0/+5people have, and do continually fall to their death on this path. it was closed to tourists at points.
- amorphousform, on 11/11/2009, -0/+5Does anyone know the name of the song?
- robosexy, on 11/11/2009, -0/+5Why do people feel it necessary to add stupid ***** techno music to every video?
- nogChoco, on 11/11/2009, -1/+6To find the true origin of your desensitization (and perhaps also those 'climbing' arm-muscles), we must look at your recent comment quoted below:
"i need pics of vaginas too!!! not for porn, for FAPing only. wanna share? "
From: http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Good_luck_with_that_PIC? ... - chaos7, on 11/11/2009, -0/+4has anyone died there
- xutopia, on 11/11/2009, -0/+425D4 032F 25D4
At least on the mac, using Hex Input keyboard. I used JS to figure this out :-D
In Firebug:
>>> '◔̯◔'.charCodeAt(0)
9684
>>> '◔̯◔'.charCodeAt(1)
815
>>> '◔̯◔'.charCodeAt(2)
9684
In Calculator.app I then converted to base 16 from the decimal value. - rectagon, on 11/11/2009, -0/+4maybe watch the whole video and then make a comment Mr. Awesome Hiker Guy.
- capyoda, on 11/11/2009, -2/+6yeah that steel safety-wire still doesnt inspire much confidence..
- Jooze, on 11/11/2009, -1/+5AW GOD DAMMIT I FORGOT MY CAMERA
- aron1185, on 11/11/2009, -0/+4I'm sure, the person with the camera, like everyone else, probably used the support of the steel safety cables that were up there.
But obviously can't say with 100% certainty - InactiveUser, on 11/11/2009, -0/+3Yeah, well I absail up the hill - backwards, before I wind surf the Sahara!
- Vapor17, on 11/11/2009, -1/+4Looks like something out of a video game.....

- gracias, on 11/11/2009, -0/+3Original link was really slow.
