I have reached that point in my life where my mind says " Yes, yes, yes" but my body says " oh God NO!".

I would try it after the repairs and handrails were done. Looks like a nice place to go walking around.

There is no way I would try it in the condition shown.:D

Exactly Phil.
But then I gave up being young and stupid in order to have a chance to be old and stupid.
I succeeded.
:D

15-20 years ago, I would have had no problem. Now I am too old and fat to even consider it.

By the way, I was scared of heights up unto I was like 21 or so. I was at Kincheloe AFB in the upper peninsula of Michigan and had to walk the rim of a million gallon fuel storage tank to "rescue" a cat. The eight inch rim scared the hell out of me, but orders were orders.

After that I never cringed at going to the top of the tanks.

The biggest one I get is the occassional jaunt up to 120+ mph on the local highway when there's no traffic around. Not really that bad since the car will do 160 - I'm only at 75% of maximum. Heck - normal highway speeds most cars exceed that percentage

I was young and stupid once, too, but now middle aged and stupid. My wife won't watch when I windsurf on the ocean to the horizon, I don't know why, I mean she could at least call the Coast Guard or something, hey wait a minute....

It's awesome, but my heart was going 'thumpthumpthumpthump...' so I'd probably have to say no!

Amazing scenery, though.

Cheers,
Mike

except for the gnarly bit with the bare rail I'd give it a go downhill on my mountain bike. @30 years ago that is!
