Here's another breathtaking slackline walk. This time by Théo Sanson between The Rectory & Castleton Tower in Castle Valley, Utah.

Drones are doing a lot of good for the world of amateur film.
Breathtaking.
Ever since I watched the amazing movie "The Walk", I've been very interested in tightrope walking...I wouldn't want to do it without a harness and a safety rope though...
Philippe Petit was a madman.....

I suspect Philippe Petit is still a madman - he seems to have something of a reputation for being a bit difficult and driven. My mate played him in the stage play To Reach The Clouds, which was then translated to the screen in Man On Wire, and said that he was ... a bit direct, shall we say?
Before his iconic Twin Towers walk he had already performed guerrilla wire walks between the towers of Notre Dame and across the towers of Sydney Harbour Bridge. That's taking street theatre above and beyond in my opinion. A very interesting and singular character.
AFAIK most of these lofty slack line walks are performed with a tether, but if it were me I'd still royally shit myself.
