This Post Gives Me The Heebie-Jeebies,

just looking at the pictures, 

 never mind reading about it, which I did in China.com, even more so when you consider that Luo Dengping is climbing vertical cliffs of up to 100 meters high, without ropes or safety equipment of any kind, for the entertainment of tourists in China’s Guizhou Province, She has become famous as the only woman in a group of “spider men” who climb the vertical cliffs, 

 men of the Miao people, in Southwest China, have been free-climbing steep cliffs for centuries, they originally developed this skill as part of a burial custom, to lift coffins of relatives up the cliffs and place them in small caves or just hang them on the cliffside, but the Miao spider men continued climbing the perfectly vertical cliffs of Ziyun, in order to collect rare medicinal plants said to cure asthma and rheumatism, Western medicine started taking precedence over traditional Chinese medicine, so the spider men found themselves struggling to support their families, today, only a few members of the Miao people still practice this ancient tradition, Luo began climbing the cliffs near the village of Getuhe when she was just 15-years-old, 

in her late teens, Luo Dengping left the village and became a migrant worker at a construction site in Guangzhou, She returned in 2000, married a villager and had two children, to support her husband, who drives freight trucks for a living, she occasionally climbed nearby cliffs in search of medicinal plants to sell, then, in 2015, the local government decided to promote the Karst mountains as a tourist attraction, and started hiring spider men to practice their skills for entertainment purposes, 37-year-old Luo became the only spider woman in a team of five Miao spider men showing off their skill and courage in front of tourists, two times per day, She works from 8am to 6pm every day, for a monthly salary about 3,000 yuan (US$458),

and here is a tip from Luo that if You are mountain climbing without ropes or harnesses, could save Your life, “Touch the rock first with your hand or foot. If you can’t touch it, don’t move.” way too scary dairy for Me!
