The climb to Harihar Fort in India looks absolutely terrifying in heavy fog.

[u/imfrom_mars_]

[u/portra315]

In heavy fog? It looks terrifying PERIOD

[u/Candy6132 → u/portra315]

Don't worry, they have safety flip-flops.

[u/4mystuff → u/Candy6132]

The third climber in the video didn't activate the safety features on his flipflops. "No flipflop corporation can tell me what to do with mine own flipflops", he added.

[u/tanne_sita_jallua → u/portra315]

Can't look down if you can't see down.

[u/hurricane_news → u/portra315]

One fart from the person above and everyone falls down

[u/Better_Carpet_7271 → u/portra315]

The fog hides the impending doom to either side tbh, this is definitely a better day for climbing it.

[u/Cheap-Top-9371 → u/portra315]

Exactly what I thought. It could be sunny and the birds singing happily and it would still be a huge nope for me.

[u/realNoobnoob → u/portra315]

I would say even

COMMA

[u/ShowmasterQMTHH → u/portra315]

They are wearing appropriate climbing footwear though. Tactical flipflops.

[u/pattyfritters]

One wet foot slip and everyone is going down.

[u/Glittering_Pear2425 → u/tanne_sita_jallua]

What movie is this from? I’m interested and intrigued

[u/Hikerchic → u/Glittering_Pear2425]

Hook

[u/lefthanded4340]

Their flip flops aren’t even in sport mode!

[u/ThomzGueg → u/lefthanded4340]

Dude, it's security flip flops

[u/MysticGohan99 → u/lefthanded4340]

It was nice to see them all with shoes at least! 

The last video I watched was of a bus crash in India, everyone who came to check on the passengers were all barefoot walking on broken glass, even the bus driver who crashed the bus was barefoot lol.

[u/Gold-Perspective-699 → u/MysticGohan99]

In India some people are taught to drive barefoot so they can feel the pedals. It's weird but just a cultural thing.. It's probably safe but yeah don't.

[u/NimrodvanHall → u/Gold-Perspective-699]

It’s illegal to drive barefoot in the Netherlands, but I can really understand why one would prefer to do it. I also under why it’s illegal in Holland.

[u/Obscure-spectrum → u/lefthanded4340]

4WD mode

[u/TokyoFlip]

Whats the opposite of a bucket list?

[u/mnisda → u/TokyoFlip]

FuckIt list

[u/skippy11112 → u/mnisda]

Nah, that's actually a sex thing lol

[u/tea-and-chill → u/mnisda]

That's hilarious 😆😂

[u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k → u/TokyoFlip]

That’s the Not it list my guy.

Last one to say not it has to do it, though.

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/TokyoFlip]

A Duck-it-list

[u/Bellatrix_1248 → u/TokyoFlip]

Kicking the bucket

[u/Mighty-PirateTM]

It's not the heavy fog fucking me up it's the obvious strong wind.

[u/TRR462 → u/Mighty-PirateTM]

It’s a good thing they’ve got half a wall and hand hold in the stairs to keep them from being blown right off it.

[u/littlebrwnrobot → u/Mighty-PirateTM]

Not to mention all the slick wet rock

[u/Shabaz69]

Doing this is optional btw.

[u/Artikay → u/Shabaz69]

My parents say this was the path they had to take to school every day.

[u/Time_Entertainer_319 → u/Artikay]

BOTH WAYS

[u/Small-Explanation74 → u/Time_Entertainer_319]

With one leg in the air to kick off dragons trying to snatch them

[u/Prestigious-Flower54 → u/Artikay]

With 100 pound book bags and tigers chasing them

[u/OptimusTractorX → u/Prestigious-Flower54]

Man, Rugrats was the bee's knees. 

[u/TonyFMontana → u/Artikay]

Only it was covered in 10m of snow, all year long

[u/Frumpy_little_noodle → u/TonyFMontana]

And all they had for breakfast was a piece of toast.

[u/FlyAirLari → u/Artikay]

I'd rather do this daily than take one of their trains.

[u/Mysterious_Tooth7509 → u/Shabaz69]

This the path Smeagol took Frodo up into Mordor on

It would take only one person slipping....

[u/Poonchild]

How the fuck is that guy’s shirt so clean and white?

[u/Evening_Ticket7638 → u/Poonchild]

Neel

[u/Working-Mountain6680 → u/Evening_Ticket7638]

Lolololol only Indians will get that reference.

Is anyone still using neel? All i saw was that people went overboard with it during the 90s and everyone had bluish shirts.

[u/Prestigious-Flower54 → u/Poonchild]

He scotchgards his shirts.

[u/FuzzyJuggernaut7455 → u/Poonchild]

DAZ!

[u/Felon_musk1939]

I'd find it absolutely terrifying on a bright beautiful sunny day with all the indigenous bids singing.

[u/KISHtheFiSH000]

Type of place i slip and fall from my dreams

[u/Phorti]

The climb looks "fine" the descend on the other...

[u/Individual_Speech_10]

Forget fog. It looks slippery.

[u/AdmiralXI]

Oh, here’s a question: why?

[u/Wolventec → u/AdmiralXI]

to bring the ring to modor without going through the black gate obviously

[u/ButterBaconBallz]

Going back down looks even scarier.

[u/Emmennater]

going back down is going to be hell on earth

[u/ZnarfGnirpslla]

That looks terrifying no matter the conditions, what the actual fuck

[u/finchthemediocre]

The great pilgrimage to High Hrothgard. I'm glad to see the Greybeards still receive company.

[u/DorisWildthyme]

[u/Wiffystardawg]

I could never........they are literally in SLIDERS? sliders/flip flops are two words that do not suit wet rock

I am developing vertigo watching it.

[u/Wiffystardawg]

This definitely is going on my top 10 things NOT to do before I die straight on my FUCKTHAT list.

[u/quiero-una-cerveca]

One dude slips and falls and he’s going to bowling pin the entire face of that rock. Nope!

[u/Evening_Ticket7638]

Why is it only men? What are they doing at the top?

[u/ReadIt_Here → u/Evening_Ticket7638]

Why do you think average lifespan of a woman is greater than that of a man

[u/texgothic → u/Evening_Ticket7638]

Because India. I wouldn’t want to be a solo woman surrounded amongst the men on a mountain in the middle of nowhere.

[u/tall-glassof-falooda → u/Evening_Ticket7638]

Doing manly stuff i imagine

[u/LeKalan → u/Evening_Ticket7638]

Why is it only men?

Happy?

[u/cdrag_ → u/LeKalan]

Lol but it's very risky only found some reckless teenager there when I wen there last time

[u/Main-Inflation-5269 → u/Evening_Ticket7638]

I used to live in India. It's always like this. Women do their own stuff.

[u/2ndSyt]

https://giphy.com/gifs/LRVIib7uXMVe8

[u/Belizesneaks1994]

I just KNEW somebody would be wearing fucking flip flops!

[u/Stratomaster9]

I can't wait to not do this. Wait. I'm not doing it right now. Excellent.

[u/NegotiationOk4424]

This is how I walk in my dreams. Crouched. Having to use my hands to drag my body. Also can’t kick a ball or ride a bike.

[u/WarmUniversity2295]

What kind of fuck fuckery is this??

[u/juliango]

Fffffffffffuuuuuuuu** that!

[u/IvoShandor]

Indian outdoor wear is quite something.

[u/strayanm8y]

Fuck dat

[u/Tennents_N_Grouse]

FUCK THAT

[u/latchkeydc]

https://giphy.com/gifs/N4xCVPenanVcI

[u/AlexF2810]

Must have been the best fort in the world. Just the sight of those stairs would make me not want to try invade.

[u/H0lyPotato_n00b]

"in heavy fog" i think the wet rock stairs without any protection are more terrifying

[u/Straight_Page_8585]

Looks like the secret way into Mordor

[u/F1McLarenFan007]

https://giphy.com/gifs/wYyTHMm50f4Dm

[u/romanrebel23]

Stunning. I used to build communication towers. After seeing a coworker drop a wrench and it split the man’s face roughly 20’ below him, despite wearing a helmet, I never trust someone climbing above me. If one person above you slips, you could be paying a hefty price. No thanks.

[u/VirginiaLuthier]

Someone chiseled those steps and handholds out of the living rock. Imagine

[u/CantFightCrazy]

Itd be interesting to see how it could be less terrifying without the fog.

[u/Key_Report_2627]

Probably even more absolutely terrifying in perfectly clear conditions!

[u/ch7mbucket]

Any stats on mortality risk on this?

[u/Direct-Quiet-5817]

Nope nope nope nope

https://giphy.com/gifs/14ooolmDKfgrO8

[u/Left-Height4925]

And I just left a thread full of people making fun of a goat that ran into a fireplace.

[u/Excitedly_bored]

People "helping" by standing there offering a hand are actually making it much more dangerous by making people go around them.

[u/TAC1313]

I think I'd rather have the fog. You can't see how high you actually are.

If I HAD to of course

[u/Marckuz031]

Don't Worry if they fall, it will take hours before they reach the ground and the guy that will save them from the other side of the mountain will arrive just in time to catch them. #Bollywood

[u/tanrock2003]

Meh, I’ve seen worse on Signal Hill in St John’s, NL in June

[u/homestatic]

People die they just step over them

[u/donny42o]

much braver than me lol

[u/sw1ft87ad3]

Terrifying because of the casual approach of these people towards heights in damp conditions.

[u/hiphoptomato]

Completely optional btw

[u/LetoA_III]

Climbing difficulty - Sandles

[u/New-Arachnid-1272]

Why ?

[u/useless_schabernack]

https://giphy.com/gifs/xiMUwBRn5RDLhzwO80

[u/Sudden_Duck_4176]

This gives me anxiety, just watching this video.

[u/somedayfamous]

It’s not the fog…

[u/africaman1]

Fuck. That.

[u/sam_el-c]

I might be able to do it but I don’t trust others to not slip and take me out

[u/carolinesakura]

It would be ok if not for a bunch of people!

[u/Ok_Cookie6726]

But why???

[u/DoctorVanNostrande]

https://giphy.com/gifs/3Mb5eK9u42s08pOv3O

[u/jetuinkabouter]

NEVER!!!!!

[u/RogerFuckbytheNavale]

They have got to have more sense than that!

[u/sunshine_royal]

Will never do this 😝

[u/wbishopfbi]

You can omit the last three words.

[u/Joppewiik]

The fog wasn't the thing that caught my attention in this video..

[u/Lordhartley]

Looks terrifying in any weather!

[u/Commentswhenpooping]

It has to look terrifying when it’s a clear day too yeah?

[u/TheOneGreyWorm]

Huh, Look at them scramble.

[u/Ilostmydonkey]

Darwin awards...

[u/kmckenzie256]

Dress shirts and flip flops. Excellent mountain climbing gear.

[u/williconn]

I literally have nightmares about shit like this

[u/EvilDan69]

To show how even more awful it probably gets, someone dug that trench deeply into the rocks AND hand carved hand holds to help even further.

[u/The-Bangaloreal]

Google says fatalities are rare.

How the fuck ?

[u/virti91]

one wrong move and single person becomes bowling ball

[u/copperblood]

https://giphy.com/gifs/wYyTHMm50f4Dm

[u/Camelwalk555]

Cirith Ungle is India eh

[u/geb_bce]

Going down would be a lot worse

[u/BVoLatte]

This guy has a lot of trust he isn't going to get thrown off balance by the people crawling past him.

[u/FrostyTree420]

In flipflops on slippery steps?

[u/SeaworthinessLost984]

Is it worth climbing with such risk...?

[u/argumentativepigeon]

Ye gang im sticking to video games

[u/uzu_afk]

Yeah… it’s not the fog.

[u/yepthisismyusername]

Nope, nope, nope, nope. Alone, maybe. But with that many people, hell no.

[u/shubhanshux]

have u seen idiots, i have

[u/eson1169]

When they’re finished with the climb, it’s off to ride 8 people to a motorcycle!

[u/jusbou]

Good thing some of them are wearing their safety sandals.

[u/sector16]

Good thing they have their safety flip flops on…can’t risk a fall.

[u/TraditionalGarden570]

So these are the stairs of Cirith Ungol actually.

[u/Main-Inflation-5269]

The women all smart enough to stay home.

[u/lillywhite2]

Everyone is assuming no one will stumble..?

[u/artsidartshy]

In button downs! Bollywood should really stop making those movies with random dancing on mountains

[u/LawdFarquaadsChin]

Fog? That's your only take from this clip? The flip flops? Steep climb? SLIPPERY WET STEPS???!

[u/Unsatisfactory_bread]

Lowkey reminds me of this.

[u/recursion_is_love]

Why do I keep thinking about some dude falling and the domino effect.

https://giphy.com/gifs/HPA8CiJuvcVW0

[u/Historical-Lie-6307]

It's too crowded

[u/Ok-Bison-3451]

Why is only guys being so stupid?

[u/Psilonaut21]

Nope.

Humans have no business being here

[u/icebeamtheory]

That’s nothing I stubbed my toe this morning on a Lego

[u/POLACKdyn]

Yeah that's gonna be "fuck that" from me bro.

[u/Ambitious_Phrase3695]

Why the f are they in business shirts ?!

[u/Sophisticated-Tiger]

Looks like it would be terrifying in bright sunshine as well lol

[u/Tiberius826]

I’m just gonna sit here and make everything crawl over me cuz I’m an asshole.

[u/foxx_grey]

Honestly the fog is nothing compared to the wet rocks that I can feel my feet slipping on as I sit in my chair at my desk

[u/Konsrockmannen]

How many fall every year to death?

[u/whatthedux]

Good thing theyre wearing safety sandals

[u/kmerian]

Just looked it up, that staircase is 80 degrees!

[u/Longjumping_Soup1324]

https://giphy.com/gifs/bjgSdEZcSs8rm

[u/AdhesivenessStill688]

That wind would mess me up

[u/Fossylicious]

Flip flops and a dress shirt... Every climber needs those to succeed

[u/Leewashere21]

I haven’t seen one thing in India where I’ve thought “ya that looks good”

[u/Anjuna8]

https://giphy.com/gifs/4ryp9Ihw0BEyc

[u/ApeApplePine]

Why?

[u/michael0n]

The ai says you do this to see the breathtaking views from the top

[u/jackalheart]

NOPE.

[u/Dunno_If_I_Won]

So much nope.

[u/Average_Joe_101]

Completely optional btw

[u/bt65]

Going up on the wet rocks looks realy dangerous, but then there is this thing that you have to go down on those also... for me that's worse!

[u/Important-Okra-1527]

How does he keep that white oxford hiking/office shirt so clean? I'd be muddy and gross by that point!

[u/MRintheKEYS]

Actually the dense fog makes it difficult to see how long your fall will be realizing you made a huge mistake.

[u/LefT-NYC]

I don't think it's the fog bro.

[u/HammerBgError404]

how my parents went to school both ways

[u/Parobolla]

How is that remotely safe/legal 😂

[u/Additional_Opposite3]

Nope

[u/BadMotherFunko]

I would order Delivery

[u/Responsible_Read_542]

Even in india they stand in the middle of the path blocking everyone so they can socialize 

[u/chili81]

It's shocking how much more faith in other human's behavior, in truly critical situations like this, that some people have than I do.

[u/q_ali_seattle]

How many flip flop sandals did you count? 

[u/NoMajorsarcasm]

Just in fog?

[u/im_bi_strapping]

Oh yeah, it's less terrifying of you can see exactly how high up you are. That is fully a death trap. Fuck all of that.

I am so grateful for screentime.

[u/Bpp908]

Why and what is the point of doing this?

[u/Jedi_Master83]

https://giphy.com/gifs/pD7YIQoUwgb9cnX3FJ
When asked to do this, I give a one word response.

[u/rangda]

One of these guys will be framed for eating all the lembas bread. They’ll find the crumbs on his cloak for sure

[u/joe_ordan]

If terriflying was a thing.. This is it.

[u/sev45day]

My stupid ass kept reading this as "Indiana".... I was so confused. I kept thinking "I need to drive over to Indiana and see this fort!"

[u/ahammas]

Getting up is one thing, but getting down 😬

[u/dullbrowny]

why bro why? with no safety rails or proper shoes? what are you searching for?

[u/QuicheSmash]

Why do people insist on doing things like this? 

[u/Different_Eye_6790]

One slip and its bye bye for you
