I received these pictures from Box O' Fun (05).
It makes the AT seem a little tamer. :)

:eek: I got skeeered just looking at the pics.
Yikes!!!! That is some scary place to be!
looks pretty dangerous,but i bet squeaky could run hike it in record time!
i doubt I'd walk so close, just in case-string out some:D .
On a side thought, it takes 'trail maintenance' to quite a different level

They must not have any lawyers over there. Otherwise, the insurance rates would be so high as to close it down.

you say that like it is a bad thing :p
reminds me of coming down Dragon's Tooth, only no chains.

Hey, anyone heard of Via Feratta in WV? That place is worse!!! I kid you not. Try crossing a swaying bridge 300 feet uo in the air in sleet with each board about a foot apart from each other. It is scary.
(Just to clarify, Via Feratta is a climbing place, and it is latin for Iron Way.)

I wasn't sure where to find all the pictures, but I did a little surfing and found the rest.
If I tried this, "Yellow Blazing" would mean a whole different thing.

Very much reminds me of Angel's Landing in Zion NP, Utah. It's very similar to the path depicted here. As a bonus you get to climb about 30 switchbacks. It's a spectacular hike, though. Zion is a beautiful park.

Now, if we could just cut a road up there for the Cades Cove tourist types. Why make the car drivers walk, nay, dangle!!?? When someone with god-given american initiative could blast a road thru there? It'd be good for business.
