noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
There wasn’t an acrophobe in sight at the Slackline King Championship in China’s Zhangjiajie National Forest Park this week. Competitors from across the globe walked a line about an inch thick that was suspended 1,300 feet in the air between two peaks more than 5,000 feet apart. watch if you dare.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I’m not scared of heights as such, but would never attempt anything like that. I watched the documentary film ‘Man On Wire’ (2008) about a Frenchman walking between the Twin Towers in NYC in 1974. That was nail-biting! (The whole film is available free to watch on You Tube if you haven’t seen it.)
Best wishes, Pete.

That looks very intense, Beth! Not for those afraid of heights!
That national park is on my wishlist to visit one day with T. The breathtaking mountains inspired the fictional floating mountains in the movie Avatar.

Yeah, no thanks. I see the line attached to the foot, but I’m curious how they’re able to get themselves back up on the rope. That seems almost physically impossible, let alone resuming the walk.
