Wow! This video is incredible! It's a hike up El Chorro in Spain. Be
prepared to feel a bit uneasy in some parts. Why? The concrete paths, once
quite good, are now in serious disrepair. Yet the hiker moves on, from time to
time, doing a balancing act as he places one foot in front of the other,
navigating narrow railway-like ties, all that remain of some parts of the paths.
And he makes a point of showing us the dizzying heights. One slip-up, and you
would careen down thousands of meters, having time to think about your impending
death. Apparently, El Chorro is one of the most famous rock climbing areas in
Europe. With more than 650 bolted climbing routes in an area accessible on foot,
El Chorro is an "El Dorado" for climbers (or a "Whipsaw" for off-roaders).
Because of its location in southern Spain, rock climbing is possible throughout
the winter, though it can sometimes be cold and the paths snow-covered. The
routes are mostly hard climbs, which is why El Chorro attracts rock climbers
from the whole world.
Watch this video in full-screen! It is really worth it.
