1. I would go up......

5. They need a zipline down.

14. The total ascent is three hours. Then an hour descent via a different route. Check the description

I linked to in reply 13.

2. Do I get a parachute?

yikes

[ms liberty]

3. Hell to the eff no. Never. Not if my very life depended on it.

My palms are dripping and my heart rate is thru the roof, after just watching 3 seconds of that clip.
I think I need to throw up.

4. Exactly!

The last time I was up high, at the Royal Gorge in CO, I wouldn't even go near the edge to look over. No no no no no no.....

7. Only if it was my job or saving someone's life

6. No. I don't even like looking at the photo of that ladder.

I got vertigo just looking at the picture.

8. Karl Wallenda told us that over 75 feet, it doesn't matter how high it is.

I think he was full of shit.

10. He was referring to the size of the splat.

You may be able to survive a fall of 70 feet, but over 75, forget it

9. When my knees were still good, up and down.

[Luciferous]

11. I don't even like climbing up

onto a stepstool, so no 😂

12. What's the point of him wearing a helmet?

And HELL NO!! Not for me.

13. Much of the three-hour ascent is rock climbing you need experience and gear for. See this:

15. 🤔 I think I'll skip That! 😄 ...

only, possibly, to save my life, or maybe someone very close to me.

Eeeeks! Though I'm glad I don't get any bad effects from just watching it. 👍

I thought it was possibly going to be the little vid (or was it a still photo) of a kid who (along schoolmates) who had to climb a 2,500 bamboo ladder up a cliff once every 2 weeks to go to school in China! Gah!

Bc the video went viral the officials are thinking of making a staircase.

16. not that 'ladder'.

[maxrandb]

17. I felt that in my toes!

No, seriously, just watching the video, I felt that in my toes.

You know, stuff like this we do all wrong. We think that when we're old, we shouldn't do something like that, but when I was 16? Sure, I'd do it.

So, when we're 16, and have 60-70 years of life left, we do some crazy, dangerous stuff.

But, when we're 70, with maybe just a few years left, we're careful.

This is something I would do old, but not young.

18. It is possible that this is to good a view of Austria.

and I like adventurous shit.

[av8rdave]

19. It all depends on what's at the top

Maybe

[Xolodno]

20. Well, I've bungee jumped 80 feet.

Did Angels Landing.

Rappelled down Space Mountain (to clean it)

....in my youth. Hope to do half dome one day.

And in my youth, looking at this....Ah Hell No!
