I went to the Banff Mountain Film Festival at the Union Chapel this weekend and loved this film! For California-based Faith Dickey mastering the fine art of slacklining and highlining is a passion.
She set the women’s world record for highlining length (a full 345 feet of pure balance and fear mastery) in Moab, Utah. She also set a record for highlining height at 4,000 feet up from the valley bottom in the Swiss Alps. Faith also has accomplished 30 free solos (highlining without an attached safety leash), the longest of which was just over 91 feet.
Can you imagine?
I've been dabbling with this (at very low heights!) and it has to be one of the best balance tools i've ever tried. Balance is so dynamic and there is no getting away from that on one of these. I like this one...gibbon-slacklines
Here's a clip of Faith in action from polishedproject.
