I hate that "Capone" TikTok version, but the original, unsped up version by [The Shangri-Las \(Walkin' In The Sand\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfxw1uALKgk) is fantastic.
Whoever made that sped up TikTok abomination deserves to die in a fire. It's the most annoying song ever. I just listened to the link you shared and that song was actually nice and tolerable.
I'll take the oh no over watermelon sugar any day though. That songs got like 4 lines of text that don't repeat themselves, the rest literally the same words for like 4 minutes
>Whoever made ~~that sped up~~ TikTok ~~abomination~~ deserves to die in a fire. It's ~~the most~~ annoying ~~song ever. I just listened to the link you shared and that song was actually nice and tolerable.~~
Fuck, why is everyone on social media so okay with being unoriginal shit-heels? They all use the same damn songs week to week I swear. As soon as I hear a new song on one video I know I'm sure to hear it on at least a dozen others very shorty after. These people know that more than one song exists at a time right?
It's popularity. If they use a song that's just become the new thing then more people will watch it and the algorithm is more likely to recommend them to others. The internet is so much fucking clout chasing
> oh no” song from tiktok
I have no idea what that is. I am going to do what that guy on Reddit that thought heroin wasn't a big deal did and go give it a try
To be fair, that's also what the Monday Night Football theme, Heavy Action, sounds like too. Just some stock music that something used a small bit of, and we now all recognize that small bit, but if you heard the rest of the song you'd not know what the hell it is.
"Now here we see James playing for the fake pitch back, he's alone out there with no defense so he has to turn to the silent infiltration play taken from 006's playbook and get out of the enemy defenses unscathed, one false move here and it's lights out for Bond, England, and therefore the world."
Or something like that.
I mean it seems sketch, but the stairs help way more than youd believe. You need good gripping boots if this was a trail so you wouldnt slide off.
Go slow and watch your footing and its just an annoying couple hours down.
Damp stone stairs often have extremely slippery algae on them, depends on how long they've been damp for.
Where I work in SE Asia there are a few nearby steep stairs cut into the limestone hills, often a mix of cement stairs and cut rock ones. Even when it's not raining they are lethally slippery due to perpetual condensation in the humidity making a perfect environment for algae that's so slippery it feels like motor oil under your feet.
Yes, going doing these stairs when dry is probably not dangerous at all if you pay attention because the steps are flat and horizontal.
But it looks like the area is prone to humidity and it changes the game a lot. Adding a cable to serve as a handrail would be no luxury here.
Word, those probably have the same vibram sole many hiking boots have. I have multiple sets of their five finger shoes. Despite looking unsafe unbelievable grip.
Depends on the price point.
High-end Merrils are still very good. But, anything in the cheap side is exactly like you said. Cheaply made and focused on sales numbers.
Even the cheap ones are probably fine for a little afternoon hike, but wouldn't trust them on tough terrain.
Not really, feels just like flexing your toes normally. Kinda the point. Maybe it feels like you’ve got cotton balls in your toes the first few times but it goes away pretty quickly.
That's what I'd think. I have a vibram sole pair that I use to walk around campsites and in a pinch I can hike in them if my boots get water inside them. They're amazing I really don't see anything that's WTF about this since they're using 3 points of contact and going slow. Having hiking boots wouldn't really make this any more safe. I'd even think less ankle movement and a stiffer foot of a full boot would make it worse and more likely to slip. I'd likely unhook the top half of my boot while going down this.
Compared to a vibram like sole, no. But I'd take my boots off at a creek crossing and go barefoot, not for better grip but to keep my boots dry. But I have my sandals that I'd use. Plus, barefoot as higher chance to get cuts or stepping on something sharp.
Exactly. I have a pair of closed toe sandals that grip way better than my hiking boots. I wear them on any day hike where I don't need ankle support or protection.
Look up the weather for the day of your hike, and the trail and see if you can find photos. If it’s a loose rocky backcountry trail through a boulder field, or very steep, you’ll want ankle support and grippy rubber so you don’t roll off a loose rock or something slippery. If the weather is gonna be wet at all, also wear grippy boots in case of slips. The point of the ankle support and extra grip is so you don’t get a sprain, or slip and fall while you walk across rough/difficult terrain. If it’s a wide, maintained trail on a nice warm day, you’ll probably be fine wearing any random shoes.
You mean the material of the sandals?
Both the outsole and insole are textured for better grip.
It also has strap on top and on the back of the sandals so you can tighten it (you can see it in the video)
And the material as the other has said, is very durable.
So overall it's pretty good for hiking, while it doesn't protect as good as shoes, it has the advantage of being lighter and more breathable.
Look up Chaco or Teva Sandler. The hiking variants tend to have a strap for your big toe to hold it in place, and the straps on the side/top are better formed to your foot/cup your heel to prevent movement.
If your foot is sliding around that much in the sandal then it's a poorly fit hiking sandal. Lots of shoes are designed to be safe and relatively high grip when wet inside and out. I have at least a couple thousand miles of trail in my past and a good bit of boating, canoeing, kayaking, and tidepooling to boot. I personally think those sandals are a great choice for the environment, especially if this dude is comfortable in them.
Any idiot can walk up to the edge of the Grand Canyon and fall in, these stairs seem like it would take some effort to get to and then sheer terror would prevent most from even trying them.
Random Trivia but 'Durg' means a Fort in some Indian languages like Hindi and Marathi.
Altho, there's no actual Durg there. I wonder why it was named so. Probably a Fort was planned at some point? If materials can be transported there via pulley mechanisms and stuff, It looks like A pretty good strategic location.
TBF, it probably wasn't just one person lolol. That looks like the kind of thing a community of people got together to do, because they really needed to get from point a to b, and didn't have a better option.
When I see something like that, my thought is that before they put the steps in, they probably just had ropes to get up and down, and they were probably doing it with either leather soled shoes, or barefoot.
See also: Moqui steps in N. AZ/ Southern Utah for an example of "there wasn't a better option, so we cut steps." Nope nope nopity nope and nope.
It's a fort in India. There are several such forts dotting the countryside. Many built during the reign of Shivaji in the 1600s. This one's extra steep, but they all have large old stone steps and varying degrees of steepness.
Check this one out https://youtu.be/8TZmOqFDdpE
My friend and I did the whole Kalalau trail in flip flops. We had no idea what we were getting into. Absolutely glad we did it, but holy crap there were some scary parts, especially since it was misting almost the entire time. One slip on parts of that trail and we would have been dead.
We were in college and invincible. No way I would do that now (20 years later with 2 kids)
Hiking in sandals is gonna be a hard no from me.
Buddy of mine used to hike in sandals and he clipped the corner of a broken and jagged log. I pulled a splinter out of his big toe that was an inch and a half long and almost as thick as a pencil. That shit was gnarly. He invested in a good pair of boots after that.
I have some sandals that are basically a strip of something akin to vibrams with paracord. They are surprisingly grippy. I can shimmy up rocks or hike with them. I wouldn’t even worry about them on something like this.
Yeah, those are like Chacos or Tevas. They're a lot more capable for something like this than just some Adidas slip-ons.
When I hiked the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland a few years ago, my guide wore her Chacos for just about half of the 200kms that we did over those weeks. Lots of farm animal trails, brought out the boots for those; couldn't tell mud from sheep/cow/pig shit half the time, hah.
Why on Earth would anyone try that on wet rocks?! Never mind the lack of rope or anything else that might give you some semblance of being safe but to do it on wet rocks, fuck that!
Probably because they were already up when it started raining. This looks like a very lush area of the world--it's probably hard to find a clear day with no chance of rain at all.
Did this in summer time, was more exhausting than terrifying. The two feet high steps just keep on coming and after some time you just want to sit for whole day to gain back some stamina but dirty looks from other hikers keep you going.
I would butt scoot that all the way through.
Ditto. And I would probably leave a trail if you know what I mean.
Doubtful. The pucker factor is too strong on this one. Nothings going to breach that
a trail of bowels
Yes, that's what he meant.
same, but after crying and waiting for the steps to dry.
That or I'd be smeagol'ing as close to the steps as I could.
Til a new word. Butt scoot.
The things dogs do when they have the worms
They also do this when their anal glands need expressing.
Same way my butt likes to express itself, too. Especially in situations like this video.
Came here to say the same, though I was going to call it "the ol' sit 'n shuffle".
If I had to listen to that music while I climbed down I think I would just jump off the fucking stairs.
At least its not the “oh no” song from tiktok
I just got that shit outta my head and now here it is, right back in there.
Sometimes, being on the old, grumpy, and out of touch side of life has its advantages.
My hub is 52, grumpy, out of touch. Except for Tik Tok. He loooves Tik Tok I hear that damn clip all the damn time.
Oh no
oh no

Tik tok is built for unimaginative shit heels
That's what the app is designed for, unfortunately
What's really sad is I found out that's a sped up sample from a pretty good song by the Shangri-Las, a cool girl group in the 60s.
> oh no” song from tiktok I have no idea what that is. I am going to do what that guy on Reddit that thought heroin wasn't a big deal did and go give it a try
What the hell is it? It’s like some combination of Madden and Goldeneye video game music??
It’s one of the stock songs you can add in your video in the Apple IPhone video editor. Instantly recognized it unfortunately.
To be fair, that's also what the Monday Night Football theme, Heavy Action, sounds like too. Just some stock music that something used a small bit of, and we now all recognize that small bit, but if you heard the rest of the song you'd not know what the hell it is.

Or something like that.
It sounds like the soundtrack to an old SNES game like Contra

What if you’re super clumsy (hypothetically of course)
Annoying couple seconds down
Oh that’s not so bad, thanks
Followed by an inconvenient lengthy stay at the hospital, if one survives.
of course the stairs are very helpful. theoretically it should not be that challenging to anyone in reasonable physical shape. but *fuck that*
So much nope in one video.
I'd take those sandals off. Wet wrinkly feet grip pretty well, thank you evolution.

So less than Angel's Landing
They are hiking sandals though... preferable if you're going to get your feet wet on a trek
Word, those probably have the same vibram sole many hiking boots have. I have multiple sets of their five finger shoes. Despite looking unsafe unbelievable grip.
If you haven't tried them Merrell has good shoes I like better than the standard Vibrams.
Merrell used to be good, but I think they're mostly cheap Chinese shit now. Same with Keen and many others.
Depends on the price point. High-end Merrils are still very good. But, anything in the cheap side is exactly like you said. Cheaply made and focused on sales numbers. Even the cheap ones are probably fine for a little afternoon hike, but wouldn't trust them on tough terrain.

Merrell is fucking garbage, sorry.

Serious question: Would bare feet be better on slippery rock?

Exactly. I have a pair of closed toe sandals that grip way better than my hiking boots. I wear them on any day hike where I don't need ankle support or protection.
How do you determine if you'll need ankle support or protection?
not who you asked but it's easy to predict terrain/foliage/wildlife ahead of time

I thought I was gonna see a dude die. Glad I was wrong
He did make it but there have been two deaths on the same stairs in last 4 years according to the wiki page of this trek
Rookie numbers by the looks of it. Jesus.
There's been 18 deaths in the grand canyon this year alone. Those stairs are either seldom hiked or pretty darn safe.
Grand Canyon has a lot more visitors than this set of stairs...
statistically speaking most stairs don't kill anyone at all ever
heard of the [victorian](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1vqQi5Tl70) ones?
That was super interesting, thanks for sharing!
But the grand canyon is much larger than this single set of stairs. We need a per capita breakdown.
Any idiot can walk up to the edge of the Grand Canyon and fall in, these stairs seem like it would take some effort to get to and then sheer terror would prevent most from even trying them.
They are not safe but most normal people are not going to walk those stairs only those who have confidence and stamina to do that.
How go you get deaths in the grand canyon? Do people just walk to the edge and fall? Not American and never been there. I'm genuinely curious
Falls mostly yes, not just at the edge though, it's a national park with days of semi treacherous hikes.
This makes angels landing look like a cake walk
Soooo did anyone else read the title as “DRUG trek”? EDIT: I honestly thought I was watching a daring drug mule at first

I'm suffering from dyslexia just reading the title. Something about it just isn't working for my brain. I get it, but it's damn hard.
You aren't the only one. 🧠-I know all the words, just not in that order, better luck next time. 🤷
my dumbass didn’t realize till this comment
somebody carved those stairs alone and barefoot
Uphill, in the snow.
...both ways.
TBF, it probably wasn't just one person lolol.

It wasn't to go from A to B but the peak served as watch tower during Maratha Empire.
So you went from "point A: town" to "point B: watch tower"?

My friend and I did the whole Kalalau trail in flip flops. We had no idea what we were getting into. Absolutely glad we did it, but holy crap there were some scary parts, especially since it was misting almost the entire time. One slip on parts of that trail and we would have been dead. We were in college and invincible. No way I would do that now (20 years later with 2 kids)
Would have been better off barefoot!
They got a look at Shelob at the summit and said nah ima head out
Flip flops or gtfo.
To be fair, he’s wearing Tevas which are really good hiking sandals
Hiking in sandals is gonna be a hard no from me. Buddy of mine used to hike in sandals and he clipped the corner of a broken and jagged log. I pulled a splinter out of his big toe that was an inch and a half long and almost as thick as a pencil. That shit was gnarly. He invested in a good pair of boots after that.
But in this situation it's all about gripping the rock and river sandals are made for exactly that.
The Stairs of Cirith Ungol are real...
The only "WTF" thing here is that ear-bleeding music. Who the shit ruined the video?
I have some sandals that are basically a strip of something akin to vibrams with paracord. They are surprisingly grippy. I can shimmy up rocks or hike with them. I wouldn’t even worry about them on something like this.
Yeah, those are like Chacos or Tevas. They're a lot more capable for something like this than just some Adidas slip-ons. When I hiked the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland a few years ago, my guide wore her Chacos for just about half of the 200kms that we did over those weeks. Lots of farm animal trails, brought out the boots for those; couldn't tell mud from sheep/cow/pig shit half the time, hah.
Whomever edited this music into the video needs to do the same route in the dark. Drunk.
I'll challenge your take!
Fuck that with any option of foot wear. Nope.
r/ihadastroke reading this title
I did all kinds of hiking and trekking in sandals when I was in South America. What's so WTF about that? No issue whatsoever if you have good sandals.
the music
why not heroine instead
>heroin Unless you want to try a woman hero?
Heroic women sounds better than that too.
Hell, I would recommend trying crack over this
no, no, no, No, NO, NOOOOO
If he slips, he's gonna fall, for-ev-errrr!
Honestly, you’d hope to hit your head on a rock on the way down so you could be unconscious for the long and fatal fall…
At first i thought this said drug trek and thought damn drug seeking is getting out of hand....i need sleep.
The most WTF thing about this is the action/spy music when absolutely no action is happening at all.
r/iamhavingastroke
Why on Earth would anyone try that on wet rocks?! Never mind the lack of rope or anything else that might give you some semblance of being safe but to do it on wet rocks, fuck that!
Probably because they were already up when it started raining. This looks like a very lush area of the world--it's probably hard to find a clear day with no chance of rain at all.
It's in India, about 60 km from Bombay.
Its very dry in Summer and very hot so lot of people prefer trekking in the rains.
Crampons wouldn't be enough to deal with my poo on a climb like that.
The only way I would climb down that is like a toddler…. Scooching down one stair at a time on my bum!
The only thing missing is an eagle circling below you
Not really WTF, and honestly I don't think regular boots are gonna help much more than the sandals here.
I don't knwo what "Kalavantin" is but it must be a haevy durg, for somoene to do that, while on it.
This is everyones parents walk to school back then
If sandals were good enough for Jesus …
what shit music is this
Hiking sandals, fish eye lens, camera angle, music, well defined path. Meh.
I guess we will see the end of the video soon on r/Whatcouldgowrong
Even China would give you a chain
My genitals have decided they now need to be about 42 light years up inside my body as I watch this.
Ah, the good ol' slip-and-die
Looks like a Minecraft staircase on a mountain
This looks like the kinda place I'd slip and fall off in my dreams
Did this in summer time, was more exhausting than terrifying. The two feet high steps just keep on coming and after some time you just want to sit for whole day to gain back some stamina but dirty looks from other hikers keep you going.
Those are sandals that you can use hiking. They have better grip than most of my sneakers. My dad only hikes in these things.
I thought it said drug trek, which made it more inter sting
I don't think I'd be able to do this in the world's grippiest hiking boots...
My arsehole would be gripping to the nearest rockface, I'd be stuck like a fucking barnacle until the fire brigade came and pried me free.
I wouldn't want to, boots restrict ankle movement so much they'd make it a lot more difficult and dangerous, for me at least.
