Have your next protag walk this path to save the girl. Better still, have him come running back down it with her slung over his shoulder. Make your readers heart pound.

That actually helped my with a scene I am writing. Not so much the treacherousness , but the construction. Good link. Thanks

The end of Guy Gavriel Kay's Ysabel has a final scene similar to that, taking place in the mountains of Provence.

It is pretty heart pounding.

Or have the girl run through there herself... maybe to save her man?

Yes, very cool.

I thought all paths were either that or deep forests. You mean there are another kind of path?

Cool!!!!

Looks like a video game doesn't it.

This is in Spain. Apparently built 100 years ago for the king who only visited it once.

I think we should send Sara to go check it out and see if she gets inspired.

I've been in worse places. I do have my characters do a disappearing act up the side of a gorge at one point; I based the climb on Tower Ridge on Ben Nevis.
