The scariest path in the world: path to the teahouse on Mt. Huashan in China.

OMG! I couldn't even think about attempting to get to that - not even for a million pounds.

I'm not too bad with heights, but I think my legs would turn to jelly on some of those stretches.

I'm terrible with heights, I would be petrified!

That just looks like a level on Super Mario Galaxy.

If there was a bar to stop at every Hundred Yards, or so, I would love to give it a go.

It's perfectly possible to show respect to a local culture without having to be religious yourself. Just good manners, really.

PS God doesn't actually exist, you know.

Edie which local culture are you asking editor to show respect to?

Remonds me of the Caminito Del Ray.

Where am I asking him to show respect to any local culture?

you quote two of his posts, presumably to show that he hasn't been paying attention to something you consider a local culture.

Well you presume wrong.

Hmm, I am a wimp when it come to heights, I get a little dizzy when looking down a long drop - I wouldn't do that walk in the video, it isn't so much the heights as much as falling to my death that I don't like the idea of!

 

[StoneRoad]

There is absolutely no way you would get me even attempting that !!!!! especially as I haven't drunk tea for more than 30 years!!

I am ok on a high bridge, if the bridge is solid, so it isn't just the height that gets me. I remember someone who claimed vertigo who could not even stop on high bridges, even if they were solid. But I do get a slight sense of dizziness when contemplating a big drop. And if I do a bit of scrambling, it is on the way down that I feel more vulnerable.

Once on a walk that went past vertical I was the first of a party of perhaps 7 to ask to be roped up. After I asked a couple of others also admitted to wanting the safety of a rope.

Bits of it look quite pleasant to walk:

While other parts.... well, eek!

I genuinely enjoy them. I love it when I work in big arenas and get to play around in the roof

Yeah, my dad showed me that video a while back. It's the decrepit state of it that gets me.

Well you presume wrong.
