The Friday Matinee!

If it's Friday afternoon then it's absolutely time for the Friday Matinee, our thinly veiled excuse to kill some weekend countdown time browsing through the odd streaming outdoors video.

You might remember Leo Houlding slackling in Yosemite for a Berghaus cinema commercial a while back back. It was pretty dramatic stuff, but Leo was using a safety line, so if he did fall off - which he did - he wasn't going anywhere.

In contrast, American climber Dean Potter, tackles the same highline traverse in Yosemite on Lost Arrow Spire, but he doesn't use a safety line... Scary stuff.


And in case you thought that looked a bit easy, here's just how awkward Leo found it making the Berghaus commercial...


Then again, you could just tie in  and jump off like the legendary Dan Osman.


That's it for this week. Don't try that at home, erm, any of that...
