October - the Month of Highline

October ’16 has been the month of the highline, thanks to unseasonably warm weather.

October ’16 has been the month of the highline, thanks to unseasonably warm weather.

Oct. 7-9: I spent at NFM, standing on a 370’, taking 5 steps on a 900’, and playing on a 150’ (got my first highline double knee drop!).  

Oct. 14: I established a 70’ at Seldom Seen in Pittsburgh!  Got the full send twice, and lots of time playing, working on exposure and double knee drops, of course.

Oct. 19: I highlined a waterfall at Jemez Falls in New Mexico, again sessioning, working on my turns, exposures, and knee drops.  I did my first backwards walk on a highline (leash management!). 

Oct. 23: I returned to Seldom Seen for a one-off (the line was rigged by a friend).  Definitely going to return to Seldom Seen as often as weather and time allows throughout the cold-season.

I am still eyeballing a longer highline in the area; I plan to measure and tag-line this project before the end of the year.  I may have to buy a longer mainline/backup to make the project work!
