BINI Mikha conquers 5,000-foot-high Sky Ladder in extreme China adventure

BINI member Mikha Lim took on a daring challenge during her recent trip to China, climbing an iron ladder thousands of feet above the ground for her first-ever via ferrata experience. 

In an Instagram post on November 9, the BINI member gave fans a glimpse of her extreme adventure at the famous Zhangjiajie Sky Ladder on Mount Qixing in Zhangjiajie, China. 

“My first via ferrata in Zhangjiajie, China!!! #zhangjiajie,” she wrote. 

Via ferrata, an Italian term that translates to “iron path,” refers to a climbing route equipped with steel cables, ladders, handrails, and footholds to help people navigate steep mountain terrain. Climbers are also secured to safety cables throughout the experience. 

According to CNN Travel, the attraction, known locally as Tianti or “Sky Ladder,” stretches 551 feet between two cliffs at an elevation of approximately 5,000 feet, based on Chinese state media reports. 

It is in Zhangjiajie Nature Park in China’s Hunan province, an area known for its dramatic rock formations and diverse landscape. 

In her video, Mikha showed herself making her way up the steep iron ladder attached to the mountain. Despite the challenging heights and exposed surroundings, the BINI member appeared confident as she continued climbing. 

At one point, she even flashed a wide smile while holding on to the ladder with one hand and raising the other to capture a selfie video. She was also seen wearing the necessary safety equipment, including a helmet and climbing harness.  

Her adventure caught the attention of fellow celebrities and fans, who expressed amazement at her courage and excitement over the unusual experience. 

BINI co-member Sheena reacted, “JUSKO LORD.” 

“GOALS 😮‍💨,” Pinoy Big Brother alum Rain Celmar commented, while actress Yassi Pressman wrote, “YYYYAAAAAASSSSSS KWEEENNNN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.” 

One netizen also joked about the possible reaction of Mikha’s mother to the daring activity, writing, “Tumatawag na siguro Mom ni Mikha right now and intro ang full name hahahaha grabe ang brave mo babi!” 

The thrilling experience came as Mikha celebrated her birthday on November 8. In an earlier post, she shared that her trip to China also included visits to Shanghai and Guangzhou, adding that she was there for both business and vacation. 

Aside from exploring different destinations, Mikha also spent time celebrating her birthday with friends and loved ones, as well as her BINI sisters. The intimate event was also attended by ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo L. Katigbak. 

On X, she shared photos from their get-together where some of her friends, including Belle Mariano, Darren Espanto, and Kyle Echarri, among others, wore red wigs imitating her signature look.
