Great video. Most of these channels want to film themselves instead of their surroundings, which is really what we want to see.

I have rappelled this twice in 1983 and 84 during bridge day We also used the catwalk. I used a 16 inch rappel rack for variable friction, starting with 4 bars and ending up with 7 bars.

My younger brother used to climb out onto the catwalk until he got to the middle and then would leave the cat walk and go out to the edge of the bridge on a beam. From there he'd base jump.

I remember doing that BEFORE there were tours. No ropes, high on mushrooms, and having the time of our lives. We would lay in the expansion joints and watch cars and trucks pass inches over our heads, also climb into the steel beems and do a little industrial caving. Those were the days.

I am 90 years old. When the bridge was under Construction I took my mother and grandmother to see it. We stood on the rock outcrop which was what was the only overlook, and watched the men walk across the bridge on a one foot wide piece of the structure. My children and grandchildren still visit the bridge whenever possible. Many of us drive from Florida and one from Pennsylvania. I live in Florida but will take one more trip home to west va. And will see the bridge one last time. It brings memories.

It's cool people get to do this. What's funny is when I was young I had a relative that lived very close and we would walk to the bridge and you could walk underneath on both sides. But we didn't walk across it.
@saraeberts8043 жыл бұрын
Do you have any idea how much life and freedom we risked to do this before it was legal? You'd go with 4 or 5 friends around 3am, park in a cemetery, climb a fence at the old matress, walk across the things they walked across to get under the bridge, then walk all the way across and back. No ropes or safety. Pitch dark. Pre-9/11, so only $150 fine if caught, never was, but so more fun before the government took over. Damn.
