This video was posted on our French blogue the other day and it made me neauseous just to watch it. I can’t even imagine riding on this nerve-wracking cliff edge trail in Austria – but then I’ve never been keen on these types of high edges. What’s the freakiest trail you’ve experienced?
Like many Canadians, I didn’t start out here – I arrived when I was a toddler. Then I grew up in northern Alberta where the travel bug kept whispering in my ear that I needed to explore the world around me. So I did. And eventually I ended up in Vancouver where I have lived for the last eleven years, ten of which I have spent at MEC where I am an Editor in the Communications and Marketing department. You can usually find me on the water in a rowing scull year round, a kayak, or pretty much anything else that floats; and if I’m not there, then I’m probably out riding my bike, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just playing somewhere in the great outdoors.
Wow! Now that’s a freaky trail. There’s no way you’d catch me on that. I don’t know how that person managed to film that and look straight down in some of those sections…
lol we aint got a tail quit like that but we got one that goes by a thousand foot cliff and its scary that trail looks sick tho i wanna ride it but that way to far for somone like me
I’ve never been on anything quite as crazy as the Camino but I can definitely say that some parts of the West Coast Trail on BC’s Vancouver Island provided some butterflies for the stomach. Nothing like jumping across a surge channel to get the heart going or those towering ladders? Nothing like a swaying ladder with a 70 pound pack on your back in the pouring rain. oh yeah, dont forget the ocassional broken rung too.
These folks were definitely mountain goats in their past lives. No questions. @tcryanTom – I too leaned left while watching this. I’m a good climber but a clumsy biker. Anxiety kicks in when I’m on anything with wheels and I completely spaz out.

@mcourcel Some of our travel packs have zippered expansion - eg. ow.ly/aVNE0. Many other packs have straps to adjust volume too! posted 18 hours ago
What about the Camino del Rey, Málaga, Spain? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0RYycxvXHw

Cripes…nothing as freaky as that. I found myself leaning to the left most of time I was watching this.
Great music. Credits?
I agree… the music is great. On YouTube they list the music credit as “Ghostwriter” by RJD2.
I had to forward through most if it..eeks!

Some parts along along the edge of the Johnson Trail in Invermere will get the heart going. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8VNIDthSrE
Lots of cliff edge stuff at Kokapelli in Fruita too.
