Is this Tibet? If so, where?

I got these photos from one of those powerpoint spams. I rarely open such files, but I opened this one and I got impressed.

I'm trying to find out if this place really exists. The powerpoint claims it is in tibet, but it may be completely wrong. Have you ever seen pictures of this place and know more info about it? I'd love to go there.

It does exist. I have seen it on a documentary on television. It was a climb that was not for the faint of heart (especially if you have vertigo ...hehehehe).

However, this was a while ago. I don't remember where it was...

I got curious now...
I just did a Google for tibet chains plank cliff and the 2nd link of the results mentioned "Mt. Huashan" in the Shandong province of China.

Then i googled Mt. Huashan and looked at google-images.

Some links found through Google:
