It is for wussies to grab hold of!
But also there are crampons for maintenance purposes fearless young men abseil underneath the walkway tightening up the bolts that hold it to the rock .
The old path ( no rails rotting concrete ) which was extremely dangerous still runs along underneath .

Imagine the construction people putting that pathway up Wonder how long it took them, and how often they check it over?

You're a brave girl Muddy.

Well done Muddy. Not for me I´m afraid, it took me 3 trips to Cuenca to just walk over the iron bridge. I made it there and back on the third trip, with a person either side of me. For me that was an achievement.
