Shaky ground

Not entirely sure where this is, but man this is one dedicated cameraman. My knees get a little weak just watching him. Look for the section where there is no sidewalk, just a steel beam he crosses. Jeepers




*Edit- This place is in El Chorro, Spain. "The Camino del Rey, a walkway constructed on the gorge wall that travels the full length of the gorge and sits a hundred meters above the canyon base is an unusual feature. Walking out on this 80 year-old suspended sidewalk had me shaking in fear from the sudden exposure. The walkway is no longer in the best shape, with sections of concrete broken away. Even though parts of the walkway have fallen, walking the full length is still possible. It is said that the walkway was built so that the King could observe the engineering work taking place in the gorge. Instead of Royalty, the walkway now carries climbers to their chosen climb."
