I thought the great wall was amazing....

[amirm]

Turn on subtitles and sit back and be amazed by what humans do:

I get dizzy watching the video. Can't imagine doing what she did let alone what the villagers do.

 

[GXAlan]

lol, I thought you were talking about

Which is fun if you think of it like a popcorn flick.

Props to the person(s) who recorded this video.

Indeed. The poor guy had to carry all his camera gear, at times rush ahead of her and take all those amazing clips.

All you'd need is a small camera like the DJI Osmo Pocket series.

It certainly is a magical climb! I'd love to do that! Although stairs are generally much more tiring than a steep mountain path.

The most striking part for me, though, was the stark contrast between the primitive living quarters and the smartphone payment for the water bottles:

I would think that climbing down is no easy task either.... especially with wet metal pipes... yikes
And as I understood it, the husband of the household did it sometimes every day with supplies... no matter the weather, and with the kid too.

That, and running fiber optics up there and 5G cell service!!! Here, my son can't even get wired Internet and has to use Satellite!

There's something about the mechanics of the fact that a human has to grip a metal pipe, with all sorts of angles, slopes and weight - then the weather on top.
Just think for a second how a strongman uses chalk on his hands to get a better grip on almost any metal bar/handle that gym gear is designed with. Then the shoes, that flat surfaces and balance - what luxury
There's none of that here. You have your hands and bare galvanized steel, and then you simply adapt to each grip and step.... thousands of times, where just one mistake can hurt like hell, when banging your shin or leave you injured and stranded, very quickly.

I like the explanation in the end, where she tells the story about why people went up there to begin with.... getting away from war - peace - like a little paradise.

Would also like to see the longer mountain road, that he sometimes carries sheep down from. Because it might have taken her 4 hours to get up.... but which way did they get down?

Indeed. And that was during good weather! Imagine if it is raining or snowing.

I have an extension ladder with rectangular tubing instead of a flat step. Just a few minutes on it make the soles of my feet hurt. Can't imaging climbing on those round pipes!

I was thinking about that during the whole video...

That's why god created wingsuits.

no way - ever. heights are my kryptonite. oh caves too.

I would be more worried about a thunderstorm

The same climb she mentioned they made 3 years earlier:

 

[TimF]

Could you climb the steps? I would likely freeze in fear at some point.

 

[amirm]

She said it took them 4 hours to get to the top. 4 hours!!! It is true suffering. The local lady said her husband does in 30 minutes every day or so??

thanks a lot for another vision that will haunt me in my dreams!

I adore Yosemite outings. Me and my GF (she is the outdoor sherpa) spend at least a week out in raw nature there every year... but yeah some of the trails get sketchy for me, and at times I have gone "I am NOT a friggin' mountain goat, I am NOT going up there, I'll wait right here. And I'll collect your remains if they roll down here." :-D

 

[Keith_W]

I would love to climb 1400m behind her

 

[Newman]

Can't imagine doing what she did let alone what the villagers do.

She mentioned it was traditionally done with vine ladders. I guess they would sway and fray. Imagine doing that!

 

[pablolie]

... Imagine doing that!

Thanks but no. I am trying to sleep without hellish nightmares...
