Nice. I wanted to be in Moab this weekend. Instead I was on a hike from hell looking for hot springs in the mountains.

You gonna make it down for Turkey Day weekend too?

Don't they call that a "slack line"? How many times did he fall before he made it across? Looks like a fun trip, can't wait for turkey weekend!

WTF?!?!?!? :eek: Is that dude walking accross the canyon on a line??? :sick:
 
yeah, it was insane watching them go accross the canyon. I didn't see any of them fall. I stuck around a while just for that. I was surprised that they didn't have a full harness setup. They were using the same type of harness that you would use for rappelling. It hooked in the front of the harness and then to the line. I couldn't imagine what it would do to you if you fell.

I wish I could head back down there for turkey weekend. I have too many family things to go to.

The line they were crossing was about a 1 inch wide strap.

Wow, another show of stupidity. There was a time when I was known for jumping from one Gemni Bridge to the other one.......

Actually, I used to want to get a rope tied to a vehicle on the middle of the bridge and go around in front of the bridge across the bowl from the vehicle, put on a harness, jump and swing under the bridge! I know my wife would seriously kill me if I did that.

It wasn't me. I am up here in Salt Lake attempting to go to school and my jeep stays down by Price at my parent's house. I wish I had a place to keep it up here.

Are you from Price?
