This is awesome.  I'd like to think that I'd have the guts to walk this trail but I'm not sure.   ;D

I've rode horses on trails similar to that in Colorado.

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

I love heights, climing to the top of a mountain and looking down, ooh what a feeling. Having said that not sure about a trail that looks like it is falling apart, some of the holes and places with no cement would certainly be testing it. Yeah I'd try it though.

When I was a young boy, My Older brother took me off on a trail like that, we didn't tell our parents.  We got down ok, but the return trip there was a brown bear on the trail . So we tryed to go around it through the forest.  The bear saw us and gave chase. My big brother ever looked back and when he got to the top found my Dad really pissed off that we took off like that.  Well also asked him where I was he said there was a bear on the trail and he told me to run. It was a good mile and a half back up the mountain with a bears on my Cranberries.  Well,  I made it ok but Dad wasn't to happy luckly he had my big brother to knock upside the head . When I got back he was so worried he didn't beat me too!  I was so scared and out of breath I couldn't say BEAR I clapps in my mother's arms I really thought I was going to die.  I couldn't get that thin mountain air in my lungs for crying my Cranberries off.  :'(

I'm a total flat lander. just watching that vid had my knees knocking. Then my little dog barked and i almost jumped out of my skin. I can work in high places but I don't like it. I did ride my X to the top of Mt Evans last year, Glad I did it, but I won't be doing that again. I don't even like working on the roof.

I've done a lot of hiking up mountain trails and while it would be cool to give this a go, I would definitely stop at the part where that guy took the thin round pipe across!!! That's beyond my idea of adventure. I can get past my Vertigo affliction over time, but not where it comes to walking across a 100 year old rusty pipe!

I tried to pause the video to get more coffee. Instead it went FULL screen and I fell out of my chair. That's cool, but you won't find this fat boy up there either.
Wonder how many people have died over the years building and repairing that pig trial. Sort of looks like they may have given up.
