I just watched this, screamed and jumped a few times. Watch in full screen!

and the background:
Quote:
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 Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall.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.

Only for you, I would walk
In infinity

Eternity with you
Only for you

fuji, there are a lot of that kind of routes in italy, better say all over the world. i've "climbed" 5-6 times that sort of creeks, but i never put at risk my life, those routes were very safe unlike el camino del rey where you have more chances to come back in italy in thousand pieces than in one piece <.<
