Dean Potter - Extreme Highliner

Highlining is slacklining at a high elevation. The line is set extra strong with precautions taken to make sure nothing goes wrong while the slacker walks across a gap anywhere from twenty feet to several thousand feet off the ground. To ensure safety, most highliners wear a climbing harness with a leash attached to the slackline itself; however, unleashed walks of highlines are not unheard of - as in the video above. Location: Lost Arrow, Yosemite, California. Soundtrack: Tadeusz Wozniak - Zegarmistrz swiatla.
