I don't think I would have a problem with doing that...I was waiting for him to jump into the river. Now THAT I wouldn't do.

yeap, "second'ing" everything that's said. I grew up in an area very similar, had an accident climbing, broke me back when I was a kid
and ever since the height's thing has new meaning. I get wet palms watching him...
I like the guy that motions the camera guy to just pass him, like it's nothing.  :o

I actually like heights, i would probably do it, I've done the skydiving thing and rock climbing. I didn't find the skydiving thing that thrilling... That looks like an awesome hike.

Totally Lame.  I did the same hike, but I was on a whole bunch of acid.

I think we should have an SSA t-shirt at the end of that hike to see how bad you want to be a member.
Really for me NO FREAK'IN WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very cool. At my age, if I fall I shatter, that be the only thought holding me back. My grandma once looked up and saw some jumpers in Austria, she got all dreamy and said "if it was'nt for my knees, I'd like to jump right now. She was 82 at the time and jumped during WWII

El Camino Del Rey, Spain. Part of El Chorro, awesome climbing area, paradise. And not expensive. I bet you'd have an awesome time. I think I'd do it too, you have to "clip on" in some parts so if you manage not to **** yourself dangling from a rock, I say you could be ok.

Dunno Dragon, first ride with you guys felt a bit like that to me, very narrow "walk way", slippery sand on both sides, ice run off's, dirt everywhere,  still pretty fast guys all around and 1000nds of feet drop to one side. Maybe if you still wanna ride after that you're welcome to join the SSA. Ha!
Food ontop the hill was well earned.
