A daring "Sky Ladder" project suspended at 1900 metres above sea level has become a sensation, drawing thrill-seekers and photography enthusiasts alike in northern China.

The video was filmed in Baoding City in Hebei Province on July 2.

Known as the "God-Sealing Sky Ladder," this project is part of the "Cliff Wings" advanced climbing experience at Baishi Mountain. The entire advanced route of "Cliff Wings" spans 370 metres, with the "God-Sealing Sky Ladder" comprising a segment approximately 45 metres long and 70 centimetres wide.

There are no physical footholds along its length; challengers must ascend step by step on steel cables, enhancing the project's intensity and challenge.

The "God-Sealing Sky Ladder" accommodates up to 8 visitors at a time, meeting the demand for shared thrills among tourists. Participants are required to wear a five-point safety harness, specialised ropes for "Cliff Wings," energy absorbers, and safety helmets to ensure their safety during the climb.

Officials from Baishi Mountain Scenic Area have emphasised that all steel cables used in the project have undergone national inspections to guarantee their quality and safety.

Specialised staff conduct detailed daily inspections of the equipment, and over a dozen personnel are stationed at the entrance and exit points, ready to respond to emergencies and provide comprehensive safety support for visitors.

To participate in this project, visitors must be at least 1.4 metres tall, between 14 and 60 years old, and weigh no more than 100 kilograms.
