    Nothing beats a bunch of padlocks for securing chains to a cliff face trail.

    By the way, Caminito del Rey is actually closed and they are in the process of revamping it. The trail currently is WORSE than in the posted video:

    Yea, a few deleted expletives escaped my mouth with the rail walking and the missing chunks of concrete in the middle of the path.

    That and I kept thinking of a girlfriend who had to sit in the middle of the floor in the van so she couldn't see out the windows while we DROVE up Pike's Peak...lol!

    I think I'll put that hike on the 'maybe when they fix the trail' list!!

    Damn! I was getting vertigo just watching that! I love the missing chunks of concrete. Gives you a really warm feeling about the footing you're walking on.
