Grab the edge of your seat and watch Sylvan Christensen walk across a line that’s tied between two cliffs. It’s an extreme sport called highlining.  Rock climbers started doing it a couple of decades ago and it is still evolving today.  The participants literally risk their lives, using ever longer and higher lines. One bad knot can lead to disaster and death. For Christensen, the “slacklife” is not only about going beyond his own limits and existing in places where no other humans have ever been before. He says the sport also helps him push past his fears. He credits it with saving him from a tragic life path.
