Longest blindfolded highline walk

After months of preparation, Alex broke the blindfolded slackline record by walking a 1712m long highline over Canyon del Sumidero in Chiapas, Mexico. That’s nearly 500m more than the old record and more than double as long as the longest line Alex has walked with open eyes until then.

Rigging this monster was an accomplishment in itself - Huge shoutout goes not only to the German crew (Johannes, Luis, Clemens) but especially our Mexican amigos (Andrea, Moises, Daniel and Sebastian) have deserved a huge thank you for the weeks long effort. What a ride indeed!

Also big shoutout to our mexican partner Altius for the idea & for making this project possible!

Besides, we want to thank our sponsors Stubai, Evoc, AtlasLenses and Balance Community for supporting us in any ways they could.
