Being paralyzingly afraid of heights (well, it’s more the falling that scares me), this fantastic video is as close as I’ll ever get to an icy stroll along a cliff face in China. Check it out!

    Robin says his only regret is he didn't get "the money shot" of him hanging off the cliff. He gave his camera to another Chinese tourist, but she was too scared to take a proper photo.

    Yeah, I can't imagine myself managing to take a picture there! I'd probably drop the camera, and then watch it faaaaaaall all that way down… and then throw up and pass out. :D
