Wow. Think you've got . . . a pair? This is nuts.
El Caminito del Rey (The King's pathway) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga , Spain . The walkway has gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is only one meter in width, and over a 700-meter fall, and over time it has also lost its handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.
Watch this video. It made me weak in the knees.

The video is tracked by music by Michael Darius. Visit his site here and listen to his music. Great stuff.
But I think I'll listen to his music from somewhere safe.

Looks totally awesome, I want to go there.
This is one of those things . . . I'm happy this guy went and videotaped it. Even if I could be sure it was safe . . . between the height and the narrowness of it . . . I'm not one to tempt fate.
One of the comments at the link was a guy who said he owned the place on his skateboard . . . bullshit.
