so i met a guy at miguels he told me there is a place near the darkside to rig a highline does anyone know of this he said it is about 50 feet high and 40 feet long, if so is anyone willing to show me how to rig so i can walk it, i will also need advice on protection i am a climber so i should be covered i just dont know the ins and outs of rigging...thanks so much for any advice you have

Are you a re-tard?

Stay Home. Have you thought about playing bike polo or joining a carnival ?

Wow...maybe since you don't know anything about it, its good that you are willing to ask questions. I don't think online is the place to ask them though. They have a slack line rigged at miguels. Find out who rigged that thing and go from there.

I feel like its a set-up. To sacrifice yourself by posting that lame....Its too easy.

I highline walk, and rig from time to time here in Zion. You really need to do ALOT more research then you think. The amount of force that is applied to a highline rig is easily more then 3-5times that of a normal slackline which generates ~4000#s, just by walking on it (not falling on it). I have seen steel lockers blow on a highline while testing. If a person was on it...well...bye,bye

I wouldnt reccomend it without finding a competent person who has rigged multiple lines with sucess.

Reading about is NOT enough.

my 2 cents, and i suggest you listen to it! your choice though

Just go watch "Man on Wire" and take it from there. You'll be fine.
