They certainly wouldn't make this trail today. But they put steel poles in the rocks with a steel chain connecting them together for you to grab onto. Oddly, for as much of it put in place, there is about a 15-foot section without chain and it's a big, angled rock sheet slippery with sand on it and no other rocks or foliage in reach to grab onto. If you slip there you're likely going off the edge. I'd guess to say that's probably where the fatalities occur.

tuco, way back when I did that hike I squeezed the chain so tightly my finger prints must have been embossed in it.
Ken,
Thanks for the inspiration. Great work.
