A Meeting That Literally Tops All Meetings

The participants of the International Highline Meeting practice what they preach when it comes to their passion. The event took place on September 8 in the northern Italian alps at Monte Piana where slackline enthusiasts showed the world how their meetings trump all other meetings known to man. During the day, it’s all about business with members suspending slackline ropes between mountains and showing off their incredible skills in tight rope walking on a meager 2.5 cm platform. Taking it to the extreme has no down time as the type A personalities choose to hang out and even sleep in hammocks suspended thousands of feet up in the air.
