That's unbelievable. I got dizzy/sick just watching the video. Guess that's one trail I'll never hike.

Perhaps the fate of Mt. Katahdin in 2079?

Who hauled all that steel and concrete up there and what did they stand on?
That was extreme trail maintenance.

I followed the thread comments on Youtube for some information. It appears this is near Malaga, Spain, and it was constructed years ago for maintenance on a nearby dam. It was then abandoned, and the only way to it is to get on some climbing gear because the accesses were destroyed. Oh, there was also mention of a serious fine.

That is some scary stuff!

Thanks. This makes perfect sense. As no "trail" is so heavily constructed for recreation, and this explains its dilapidated state; no one is supposed to be up there.

The music adds to the vertigo you feel while watching it.
