Funnily enough after yesterday's bit about how next year's ShAFF will feature a new viral video category, we came across this cracking bit of footage about adidas team athletes Reinhard Kleindl and Armin Holzer setting up a highline on each of the towers of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the Dolomites.
It's worth watching just for the stunning mountain scenery along with some nicely dry observations from the two climbers: 'Highlining is essentially a mental thing. When you do the set-up right, then it's really safe. It's like you have a belay with a climbing rope, there's not much difference in that.
'But still, to walk away from the wall into this open space, with just this small webbing and the rope underneath you, this brings out really strong fears that are deeply inside you...'
Hmmm.... enjoy.
