I'll repost here what I originally posted on a dupe of this:

I naturally became curious to find out what/where/why, and here is what Wikipedia told me (from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminito_del_Rey)

El Caminito del Rey (English: The King's little pathway) is a walkway or via ferrata, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to Camino del Rey.

The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 feet and 3 inches) in width, and is over 300 meters (984 feet) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the concrete walkway have completely collapsed and all that is remaining is the steel beam originally in place to hold it up and the wire that follows most of the path. One can latch onto a safety-wire to keep from falling. Several people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years; after four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, many adventurous tourists still find their way onto the walkway to explore it.

You know, it doesn't help matters when he stumbles and almost falls in his first 10 steps.

I keep expecting a headcrab to jump out all of a sudden.

Yep, that's not going to be there for much longer...


Better get there while you can.


For some reason the rocks look safer to climb over than that pathway...


Also, how is this Eia?
