This slackline was south-exposed and there was almost no shade – it was permanently exposed to UV radiation when the sun was shining. The highline was up for 7 and a half months straight.

The history of Y2K – The worlds first segmented highline high-tech webbing

In 2018 we had a dream: We wanted to rig and walk the longest highline in the world. We had a 3km-project in mind (Y2K? – “Why 2K if you can do 3K?”). But for that we needed to develop the best slackline webbing possible. And not simply a webbing but a whole new system […]
