These kids in China must scale a dangerous 195-foot cliff each day to get to school

What are these crazy kids up to now?  They are going to school!  In China, the youth of Zhangjiawan village in Long Tianping County have a 195-foot (60 meter) cliff they must climb to get to school.  There is a safer route but it takes three hours to get to school via the roundabout path, so parents have their kids climb these custom-built ladders each day.  The ladders are built by the parents that live in the area and are replaced every few years for, ahem, safety reasons.
