Nice one, just walking along the top of Stanage without being blown of your feet is tough enough at the best of times, there must be a load of places across the gritsone edges that you could span a rope and this would be a hoot, How about the stinky pond at Lawencefield?
what the hell is wrong with you people, i bet 99.9% of you all couldnt do that 2 feet off the floor without slipping and cracking your balls! im looking into how to set up a highline, if anyone can help me, please reply to this comment :) thanks
That looks like something i could do in my back yard and save myself the trouble of climbing a few thousand feet and hooking in. Then again, I don't have many girls in my backyard yelling 'woo hoo' after I cross the gap.
nicely done. I'm still working hard on a low short slackline, and that is a LOT harder than it looks, although clearly the haters on here have never tried. Respect for the highline, I'll get there one day.
why do some people have to be abusive about this type of thing. He puts no one at risk but himself, he is not really risking the emergency services having to come out, he is doing nothing but facing his fear and conquering it with courage and skill. Those of you who make the type of comment such as "why don't you just jump off the mountain" or "what a pussy" should examine your own lives and see what you have done you are proud of. Good on yer mate, keep it up
a lot of people commenting here are missing a point but when you under take anything like this ie slack-lining , rock climbing , etc etc you do it for one reason an thats because its personal to you and its about personal limits and breaking those limits , limits in fear limits in ability , fitness what ever unlike other sports ive tried this isnt about beating anything more than yourself , the guy in the clip has my utmost respect for his ability an bravness , safety line , helmet regardless
at .29 seconds he very clearly grabs his sling attaching him to the slackline. that is the same as pulling on climbing gear to help you through a difficult section, its cheating!
this cant be called an onsight if you pull on gear to stop you from falling.
@jimbojims wow, use your brain a little more and stop degrading someone who has better accomplishments than you. it's not stopping him from falling, it's connecting him to the slackline so IF he falls its only a few feet. the reason he pulls it is because it lags too far behind him and it is throwing him off balance.
Is it just me? Or does anyone else think safety lines are stupid. Extreme stunts like this are extreme BECAUSE they are dangerous. People are too soft. Life isnt fun without a little danger. You gotta get out and feel the fear of dying but then be able to confront your fear and conquer the challenge. Without any fear or risk... there is no challenge, its just "whoops I fell... just gotta climb back up and try again". But i digress. This is just my personal opinion.
I take that back, Dan Osman died from a free fall and the rope snapped. Guess I'm the retard now, right? lolz. Plus, I'm posting comments on a Friday night, I need to get a life, lolz.
@taekwondoman12345 Its already dangerous even with the saftey line. Its only "woops i fell just gotta climb back up and try again" if nothing goes wrong. I take it you have done it without the saftey line? "conquered the challenge"?

@jimbojims Talking silly mate, it's dragging at him and he's pulling it up. How can pulling on something in line with his feet aid his balance?

Are you retarded? There is a high percentage that you will fall and then what? YOU DIE! So then there are no second chances at facing your fears.
gfunkonthecheesetree 1 year ago 3
@gfunkonthecheesetree EXCACTLY thats the whole point! Accept that theres risk and conquer it.
If your smart youll start out small and work your way up to doing more difficult things.

@EwanNexus1994 Then obviously you should look into either setting up your lines better or purchasing better ropes.
