Who wants to go climbing?
These photos are great! Would you be brave enough? Gives me that creepy tingle 
These pictures are taken on part of a 12 kilometre trail on Mt. Huashan located in Huayin City, about 120 kms. east of Xian , China. It is one of the 5 most famous mountains in China, and has ancient ties to religion and martial arts. It rises 2200 metres high. As a side note, the locks you see along parts of the safety chain are called "love locks", or lucky locks, placed over the years by hikers. And yes, part of the trail is only 30 centimetres wide!!

Funny, I just got an email about that mountain. Thats insane!!!! I got the heebie-jeebies just looking at the pictures! Me and heights are like oil and water, we'll never mix. It takes me a solid 10 minutes just to approach the railings at the top of the Sears Tower. A few glances around and IM DONE! UGH! |
