250m high, or 250m long? Or both? Impressive shot.

Cheers Mike. Slight exaggeration on my part, 250m was guessed at. When measured the line was 209m long and 100m high. Jediah Doohan from the uk walked it on the first day breaking the world record for the longest highline (on polyester).

Jeez! How on earth did you get the tension in that and how big were the anchors? Brilliant photo

Superb... of course!

On Highlines you use industrial strength spansets on multiple anchor points (probably bolts).
Modern highlines tend to be relatively low tension though pulley systems are used to tension the line.
Great shot btw.
