#071: Daniel, Mo, Jewels and Steve on setting the record for longest highline ever walked in California at Yosemite National Park

Just last month they set the record for longest highline ever walked in California at Yosemite National Park Highlining is high altitude slacklining in which a narrow strip of strong, nylon webbing — usually an inch wide and a few millimeters thick — is strung between two anchor points and serves as a kind of balance beam. They used the help of 18 friends and fellow highliners to navigate their webbing through and across the landscape — hiking lines up from the valley floor, rappelling down from the cliffs above and maneuvering through countless tree branches. It took a week straight of stringing the line, 2,800 feet in length, from Taft Point west across a series of gullies that plunge as deep as 1,600 feet Then they walked across! We dig into the preparation behind it, the mental approach to it all, and how 2 of them actually have a fear of heights! >> LA Times article  Daniel Monterrubio @daniel_monterrubio Steve Griggs @stevegriggs Jewels Esparza @unit._.of._.energy  Moises Monterrubio @moecheese2408
