Highlining is a slackline discipline that is practiced at great heights, between mountains, buildings, bridges or whatever.

It is a great 9️⃣ challenge and a slackline discipline in which the mental game and mindset are far more important than the technical and 9️⃣ physical ability.

To really know what is highlining you probably have to try to stand on one or, maybe, if you 9️⃣ get to see quite decent slackliners crumble when facing this new context and challenge, you'll get a pretty close idea 9️⃣ of what it means for the one on the line.

This form of slackline provides an incredible adrenaline rush when tried 9️⃣ for the first time and has a great impact on the spectators as well.

With the exception of highline freesolo, where 9️⃣ the athlete is purposely unsafe, the highliner is permanently secured by a harness, attached to the main slackline line and, 9️⃣ at the same time, to a lifeline, called the backup.
