The Mt. Huashan Hiking Trail.

The five peaks of Mount Hua have been vertical sanctuaries for monks, hermits, and spiritual seekers, especially Taoists, for centuries, but to get to them pilgrims must cross treacherous trails, such as those made from links of chain and wooden planks joined by iron staples. And now with winter approaching, it's the most dangerous time of year to attempt what could be the most dangerous hike in the world. 

I am TERRIFIED of heights and started to get that anxious feeling in my stomach the moment I saw these next two pictures.  Can you imagine hiking this??
