Kenyan celebrity couple Carey Priscilla and her husband, Ben Murio, have sparked mixed reactions online after sharing footage of themselves climbing a steep mountainside in China, with some social media users questioning whether the adventure was worth the risk.
The couple, who have been documenting their experiences during their trip abroad, appeared suspended along a rocky cliff as they navigated a challenging climbing route. The footage captured the height and steepness of the terrain, prompting a mixture of amusement, admiration and concern among their followers.
One detail that particularly caught viewers’ attention was the grey, overcast weather surrounding the mountainside. Although the footage showed the challenging conditions, it did not establish whether the couple encountered any immediate danger during the climb.
Carey and Ben used a GoPro-style camera to capture their experience, giving their online audience a close-up view of their movements along the rocky route.
The trail appeared to be a via ferrata, a mountain route equipped with fixed safety cables and other climbing aids. Such routes allow climbers to move across steep rock faces while attaching themselves to designated safety systems.
Despite the equipment associated with this type of climbing, the dramatic views and exposed position of the couple were enough to make some viewers uneasy.
Ben also brought humour into the adventure by comparing their resting positions on the mountainside to those of Kenya Power workers taking breaks while suspended from electricity poles.
His joke attracted attention because it offered a familiar Kenyan reference in the middle of an otherwise nerve-racking scene.
The couple’s mountain-climbing experience is part of a wider series of activities they have been sharing from China. Their updates have allowed followers to see some of the places they have visited and the unusual experiences they have undertaken together.
However, this particular adventure generated a different kind of reaction, with some viewers focusing less on the scenery and more on the potential dangers of climbing at such heights.
Several social media users drew comparisons between the footage and the thriller film Fall, which centres on characters trapped at a terrifying height. The comparison reflected the anxiety some viewers felt while watching the couple navigate the mountainside.
One commenter jokingly described the pair as the true definition of sticking together, writing, “Hawa ndo the true definition of we are one, where you go I go.”
Another viewer compared their adventure to a possible sequel to Fall, while a different commenter admitted that watching the footage brought back memories of the film.
Others expressed concern about the couple’s family, questioning the risks involved in undertaking such a challenging activity.
The comments illustrated how the same footage could entertain some viewers while leaving others uncomfortable about the heights involved.
Carey Priscilla is known in Kenya’s entertainment and social media circles as an Akorino model who has built a public profile through fashion, modelling and online content creation.
Her relationship with Ben Murio has also attracted attention, with the couple frequently sharing moments from their life together with their followers.
Their latest adventure in China has added another memorable episode to their online journey, although the reactions suggest that not everyone is comfortable watching them take on activities involving exposed mountain routes.
While the footage generated plenty of discussion, the report did not indicate that either Carey or Ben had suffered an injury during the climb.
For their followers, the experience became a conversation about adventure, marriage and personal safety, with some praising the couple for exploring new experiences and others questioning the risks associated with climbing steep mountain terrain.
