highline
Sky-high balance strap
A highline is a slackline rigged at significant height—between cliffs, buildings, or across gorges—with the walker secured by a harness and leash.
The sport combines balance skills with exposure to heights: She walked a highline stretched across the canyon.
Unlike lowlines set near the ground, highlines add psychological intensity and require safety systems.
