I came across this video ,I thought you might enjoy watching . Not quite my cup of tea, to say the least.

They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax.

I would only attempt this walk if there was a REALLY nice brookie stream at the end. Otherwise, it's just not very sane at all.

Looked at it yesterday and shuddered throughout the entire video. I'd need to know there was a spring creek full of 22" and bigger wild browns and rainbows, with predictable infrequens lasting for hours everyday, before I'd even consider that trek.

That makes a fear of heights very rational.

That was pretty sweet.

Reminds me of a particular section of the Nualolo Cliff Trail on Kaua'i. When we hiked it we didn't stop to take pictures, but here's one from someone who did (where the guy is looking is at least a thousand foot drop):

Thankfully, the dangerous part of the trail is only about 1/4 mile long, and the really sketchy part (where the above picture was taken) is only a few hundred feet long. Still though, traversing those few hundred feet does make your sphincter pucker up just a bit...

Okay, I've never been on anything nearly that rough.

But that does kind of remind me of the hike to a certain section of a canyon stream in Montana. As I said, it was never quite that frightening, but there were quite a few places you could see how a miss-step could be very bad news.

It least in this case it was worth it though, because the creek was full of cutthroat trout 14" and up:)
