Thoughts from the outdoors

Bonkers French Highliners - Video

A healthy dose of a different sort of reality to brighten up a dour pre-Christmas week.

Bored? Tapping your feet and wrapping tinsel around your nose? Tying alpine butterfly knots in bits of stray Christmas ribbon? Slacking? Well, what the hell, embrace it and put aside ten minutes to chill out and watch this epically, oddly mellow French highlining video.

As if alpine mountaineering isn't diverting enough in itself, these guys decided to take highlining to the high mountains. Ace.

I slackline (badly) but only 2ft off the ground, the tension that tape is under is massive.

Awesome!
