Apparently its called a slackline.Β You can see it as it crosses the people walking on the leftthand side of the image.

Is there a skill difference between slack lines and ropes?Β It seems there would be but both require extraordinary balance.

Slacklining is very common in the rock climbing community. I've never heard of anyone trying to use a rope, but climbing ropes are dynamic (which means they stretch) so they would be pretty bad for walking on. It takes some practice, but you can be halfway decent in a few days or a week.

Oh, what a great spot for shooting! Without the guys on the left hand side, the slack line would be almost invisible. Maybe shot for 1 ft lower, you could have the guy walking on the edge of water!

That other character walked on water and that would be too controversial.... haha. Β I'm afraid I am too much of an observer when I make pictures and lack the skill to add a sense of humor, as you do so well!

Thanks, Josh.Β Yes, don't play too much with the other character.
