“I’d rather sit on a step and cry.”

If you are afraid of heights and high mountain hikes make you dizzy, this article is not for you. Last week, Twitter user @Enezator (672k followers) posted a video that wreaked havoc among his followers and ended up becoming a viral phenomenon.

It’s a clip recorded from a first-person perspective where you can see the harrowing and dangerous descent of a hiker down a steep, wet mountain. At first glance, we can already see that the person recording the landing was at a high altitude due to the landscape. However, the humidity and rain on the ground add an additional danger to the scene that does not seem to affect the protagonist.

Amazing descent. At the beginning of the video you can see how the person recording is wearing a blue raincoat and is advancing with a quick and steady step towards a puppy and two people. Without hesitation and easily negotiating the wet ground, he achieves a perspective that visually places us in an environment that is not suitable for everyone.

Interactions. With almost no supports and a kilometer of stairs, this descent caught the attention of thousands of people who commented on the post explaining what they would do in a similar situation.

“I would rather sit on a step and cry until a helicopter comes for me,” he expressed @xsuihz

“From what I know, on the third step (and the pullout from the top) I slipped and somersaulted to the bottom,” he expressed @mariolajmnezt

“My colleagues in Mallorca: let’s go to this easily accessible bay,” he expressed @yaizabarcelo

In numbers. The video has received more than 6.5 million views at the time of this writing, in addition to 30,000 likes, 7,200 retweets, and more than 1,000 comments.
