And there is an easier path, that is true.

...and check out this rather large gallery of images.

Welcome Touchnova!

That's an interesting video; the music is Chinese but the language is Japanese. I'm guessing it's a Japanese travel show.

Since you seem to be tuned in to North-East Asia, are you in the region? Is your user name a reference to a certain notorious company that just went belly-up?

When LumberJim got to 9,999 posts, we joked about getting him banned or knocking a few hundred posts of his tally.
It occurred to me that it would be much, much meaner to add a few dozen posts to his tally, taking him to 10,017 or something. Taking a few off merely delays his myriation, adding a few on makes it permanently unreachable! Mwahahahahahaha.

If you go a quater the way down this page http://www.ssqq.com/archive/vinlin27a.htm there is a heap of photos and a story for the mountain. The first quater of the page is amazing as wella although I think it has been on IoTD before.

I couldn't watch the video as YouTube was stopping and starting and it makes me mad enough to spit like a camel all over this laptop. Rather her than me - I would do it as an immense personal challange (or for money!) but no way as part of a tv show.

In fact the only legal thinG I wouldn't do for money is potholing. There was a programme about overcoming your fears (they won great prIzes too) here a few years back. One woman with a fear of enclosed spaces not only went potholing but completed a route were the thinnest gap she had the slip through was 2 inches smaller than her bust measurement!! It was all to do with proving something to her daughter about facing your fears. Another reaSon not to have children!

TheMercenary · 11-18-2007, 05:20 PM

had to look that up, is this the same?

Potholing refers to the act of exploring potholes, a word originating in the north of England for predominantly vertical caves. The term is often used as a synonym for caving, and outside the caving world there is a general impression that potholing is a more "extreme" version of caving. [citation needed]

{from Wiki under caving}

Generally involves not strolling through wide open mapped caves.
But squeezing yourself into smaller and smaller - sometimes underground, sometimes underwater. There was a Brit film recently called The Descent (into a cave system), scared the bejesus it of me, and potholing and spelunking sound such fun as words!

deadbeater · 11-21-2007, 12:28 AM

Man, that path should be in The Amazing Race somehow!

deadbeater · 11-21-2007, 08:29 PM

Also, that path leads to a shrine.

wow. i'm surprised that there is at least some planks and a chain to walk on. having lived in china for a while, i've realised that the chinese have a very important rule: do things in the extreme: if we must be dumb and dirty and stupid, then we must be dumb, dirty and stupid beyone imagination. needless to say, that makes life most difficult for everyone else. so just be happy you gotta a chain and planks instead of a thread to tread on.
