If you were watching this tightrope act on a slack-line less than an inch thick, at a dizzy altitude of 1.8 km; without a shred of doubt your hand would be over your mouth, your teeth clenched, praying to God nothing untoward happens.
In a truly mind-blowing display of sheer grit and dexterousness, American Dean Potter, a daredevil free climber from New Hampshire successfully crossed a 200-meter-high valley on a rope over The Enshi Grand Canyon in East China on Sunday, April 22, 2012.
40-year-old Dean Potter carried out his delicate balancing act across 130ft of gaping canyon in China’s Hubei province. What is really praise-worthy is that Potter did it with out any safety harness or parachute.
The Enshi Grand Canyon, Potter conquered this time, is 5,905 feet (1,800 meters) above sea level which he crossed in just over two minutes, informs the Chinese state media.
One dazed viewer seeing the gritty display over video remarked “F**k that I can barely walk a curb” Guess that remark truly sums it all.[/quote]

A fucking fine line between having balls and being a idiot.

I'd say crazy , but you can also call it balls.

I wouldn't cross that gap even on a two meter wide steel bridge.

I'd laugh if he got hit by a bird.

Yeah that would be a real knee-slapper.

[Murkat]

“F**k that I can barely walk a curb”

Pretty much sums up my thoughts on this

[Thomas45]

Wouldn't a gust of wind take him out?

[Young Lu]

Deja vu.

Don't get me wrong, this is bat-shit insane amazing, but this has been done before so many times. By this I mean that once one guy walked a tightrope across a height that would kill him, any higher balancing acts poses the same risk, death if you screw up.

[Parakon]

well it's less about dying and more about making a bigger mess now

[MaxOfS2D]

what if he sneezes

[Peepin]

Most people use a long pole to balance off the weight.. This is amazing..
