This is Truly the Most Thrilling Site to Hike in the World!

I’m a huge fan of Robin Esrock from the epic Canadian show Word Travels (check it out if you haven’t already). Here, we follow he and his camera up one of the most dangerous hiking trails in the world:

So epic isn’t it? Death Mountain is definitely in the top 5 of my bucket list!

How about you? Would you have the guts to make the ascent?
