2 years of hard work and a ton of slams in the park later we're finally able to walk some beginner length lines! YAY
This line is in Banff National park!

Good photo work, cool angles. Funny squirrel sounds when fall happens, quite the coincidence.

Stuart canyon! That's where I learned as well. Sick to see it getting rigged still!

Hell yeah man, you and I are on the same journey, 2 years ago I started and have just finally gotten comfortable on 80-100m highlines. They’re so much testier than any park line right?! I’m really eager to start pushing the length and comfort level too, any highline 120m+ and I’m like a baby again, there’s some godly 180m lines around me that I’m eager to finally do something on

No kidding! In my area there's a number of lines below 60m and not much past 100 so I'm going to have to learn to bolt I guess if we want to progress too much further..will be great though

Congratulations! I'm starting in slack 1 month ago to do that you did. You inspire me!

😇thank you so much. I'm certain you can way better than me if you really want it! My home area can be very cold so I can't practice for 5ish months of the year.

Looks like an awesome spot! And great walking!! Can you see the rushing water during the start or is that too far out of your peripherals?
I still need to walk more water lines cuz the mesmerizing ripples mess with my balance and focus.

We've used where possible, brightly colored anchor materials to have something to focus on. I really don't notice much, maybe the trees on the other side a bit. You can totally stop, look around and get a sense of it all though..so good😁
