  1. Scary stuff! I wanted to climb Mt. Huashan all the way back in 1988 (yes, 35 years ago), but my friend and I were dissuaded by locals, and they didn't want to show us how to get there. I didn't help that we couldn't speak a word of Chinese.

  5.  @sdqsdq6274  Yeah, we were also skeptical about these claims, but as we couldn't communicate further it was impossible to get details.

  7.  @johnsamu  Oh, they had stairs and railings and everything, even back then. While we didn't climb Huashan, we did climb Emei Shan, and it already had all the tourist trappings back then: Stairs, hotels, restaurants, food stalls, convenience stores, even people who would carry you up sitting in a chair, for a fee. Yes, in 1988.
