It was intense, I want to go back. You can get a guide who will provide all the gear but we did it ourselves. We used 2 slings and screwgate carabiners attached to our harness. The spainish climbers have put a via ferreta around most of the walk which is a steel wire attached to the rock. You can see me clipping into this during the video. Never sure how secure it is and if you fel you would drop 2-3 meters probably, so don't fall. It was definitely one of the best adventures I've had, amazing! Where you from, do you climb in the UK?

Must have been an intense adventure. I'm jealous. So how is it with permits? Did you have to obtain one or did you go on your own? Was security gear provided or did you bring your own? Did you get a guide? Sorry about so many questions ;) That looks sick, Chris. Must have been an intense adventure. I’m jealous.

Me and my mate done 4 days climbing in El Chorro and ofcourse completed the kings walkway. The real fear is at the begging, with 30m high traverse into the unknown. After an hour on the walk you get used to it and the same traverse off feels easy but the initial buzz and walking across small rods is amense. I would well recommend El Chorro and the kings walk (if you know what you are doing). We are real amatures but heres our video if you are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsVn6uVnemA go there people, you'll love it.

I know it's totally the wrong season but it looks an awesome (the definition of that word truely sums up El Chorro) place to chill out a do 2 or 3 afternoon climbs. If all goes well I'll tell you about it in two weeks. I’m off to El Chorro next week, can’t wait to do the Kings Walk and climb some of the great crags.

Problem was they all got on at the same time. This story might have been twisted over time but that is what i heard No apparently they got onto an old wire that was already there and tried to zip to the other side.
