Dear Primrose, it would take the temptation of big slices of cake to get me up there. 
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I dont even like looking out of a window in an office more that two floors. 
Every time they walked over the holes in the path my stomach sank. But if you watch some of the videos show below you can see that they are able to walk on ropes between two logs so they have the balance if they are all rock climbers then they wont have a problem with that.

I feel sick having watched that, I'm like you Catherine.
Once I realised they could clip on to the rope on the wall I relaxed a tiny bit, but you would NEVER get me to walk that.
Another point, can you imagine being one of the civil engineers who built the damn thing!

I know this corner of the earth, it smiles for me...

I had to turn it off when the walker got to that large gap in the path - made me feel quite ill just to see it on film. How on earth did they get all the concrete and railings up there? Judging from the state it is in on the film, it can't be long before sections will disappear altogether!
I must admit it looks rather good.....i like to push my self distruct button on occasion 
Don't know if i'd do it though....looks a little too risky..even for me...but those views are to die for

Still feel dizzy now . . . like to keep my feet firmly on the ground. I have trouble walking up steps with gaps between them!
Like Lizzie says, the views are to die for, but I'd rather not!!

I was happy untill I saw that it was no more than a cantilevered shelf glued onto the side of the rock face!
That and the obvious non-maintenance!

That is terrifying. I get the wobbles walking on narrow coastal paths if there is a steep drop. There is no way I would step onto those crumbling bits of concrete. They must have a death wish.
