The GoPro headmount is a great way to capture the reality of a walk along the Great Wall at Jingshangling.

On Sunday, June 30th we climbed the Great Wall of China at Jingshangling , about 100 miles ( 160 km) Northwest of Beijing. Though the weather was misty the views were great. The Great Wall was fascinating for my 12 year old son. This area of the wall is unimproved and difficult to access – recommended only for fit and adventurous travelers,
Video from the 10 KM trek along the Great Wall on March 5,2010. One of the best things about climbing in winter is that there are no tourists ! Other than the occasional post card vendor , I saw no one !

The 10 KM trek along the Great Wall from Jinshanling to Simatai is
especially challenging. The steps are treacherous, often with gradients of
80 degrees. One needs to be in top physical condition and not suffer
vertigo. The temperature today was no higher than 20 F ( -7 C) with a wind
howling down from Mongolia.
