“Storm Over Everest,” a David Breashears film, aired this week on PBS. Breashears is a filmmaker, but he was also part of an intense rescue effort on the slopes of Everest in 1996.

BestHike.com posted this video today of a seemingly fearless guy walking El Camino del Rey (The King’s Pathway) in Spain. Now an approach to Makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro, the trail has definitely seen better days (like when it was built way back in 1901). It clings to the side of a cliff, hundreds of feet above a river, and according to Wikipedia, many people have died hiking it. Why? Because it’s crumbling in spots, has no handrails, and is generally falling apart.

But you’ve gotta see this video (unless you’re scared of heights)…

Steph Davis and Conrad Anker, world-class alpinists and rock climbers, have made inspirational short films to help promote the contest. Check out Steph’s video below… she’ll make you want to live out of your van in Moab.
